Are you aware of all your financial options to support your company’s growth?
Could your business benefit from:
- Discovering the full range of financial options available to grow your businesses
- Building and strengthening relationships with investors
- Obtaining one-on-one feedback from seasoned investors and consultants
- Optimizing your business growth strategy
- Promoting your company products or services
The Inner City Capital Connections training program might be your answer. ICCC New York 2009 features seasoned professionals who break down what you should know about debt, equity and other financing options for your small business.
Inner City Capital Connections (ICCC) is a free national program that identifies and prepares a select group of entrepreneurs searching for finance to support their business growth. Unlike other capital raising events, ICCC is unique in its focus on inner city entrepreneurs. Since the inaugural event in 2005, nearly 150 inner city companies and 115 equity providers have been selected to participate. These companies have raised more than $140 million in capital.
On October 20, 2009, a full day training session will take place in New York City to prepare entrepreneurs to meet with potential investors. The program culminates with an event on November 18-19th in New York that gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to connect one-on-one with investors also.
Any for-profit corporations, partnerships or proprietorships headquartered in or having 51% or more of their physical operations in an economically distressed urban area of the US that have revenues of $2 million or more in 2008 should apply for this program.
The 2009 Inner City Capital Connections (ICCC) program is co-sponsored by the U.S. Small Business Administration, the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City and Bank of America.
