Description

Jumpstart Your Business – Obtain Small business Financing Through This Unique Workshop Opportunity

For small businesses, access to capital is one of the primary barriers to growth. In recent years, some entrepreneurs have turned to "crowdfunding" to bring their business ideas to the next level. But not everyone has an extensive personal network to market their fundraising campaign.

The NYC Business Solutions: “Jumpstart your Business” workshop guides entrepreneurs towards capital with no interest, fees, or credit score requirements. NYC Business Solutions does so by collaborating with Kiva Zip, a non-profit organization, which functions as a hybrid version of a crowdfunding and microfinance platform. By ‘registering’ for this event, you are expressing interest in applying to be a part of this workshop. The maximum loan amount is $10,000. Participants accepted into this workshop will have their loans matched up to $5,000, and will have access to a mentor through the entire process.

To apply, please click on the pre-application link. Please note that completion of pre-application does not guarantee acceptance into workshop.
