Small businesses often lack opportunities, especially in rural communities, to access funding for their small enterprises. This webinar recorded on April 10, 2023 presented insights and strategies for how individuals involved with local investment networks have been able to finance businesses on main street and in rural communities.

Many thanks to the Washington State Department of Commerce for their generous support for WSMA in this work.
