Representative Doris Matsui is hosting a workshop that should help small business owners learn how to gain access to federal stimulus funds and other other financial resources. The meeting is August 6th at City College and goes from 9:30 to noon.
Staff from the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Federal Technology Center will provide information about American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds and federal grants. They will explain how both can assist people who own small businesses or who are considering starting them.
“Even in these challenging economic times, there are opportunities for entrepreneurs to start a new business here in Sacramento, or for existing business to help make ends meet, build off successful business models, and grow their business – all of which will help foster our economic recovery and create new jobs for Sacramentans,” Representative Matsui said in a statement.
Panelists will discuss how to get financing, starting small businesses and business planning. Participants also will have an opportunity to network with people from government, banks and local businesses.
Space is limited. Those interested must RSVP to Matsui's Sacramento office at (916) 498-5600.
