About this event

The United States Department of Transportation's (DOT) Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) invites you to participate at the Department's “Access to Capital” Webinar to be held on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2020. The webinar will start promptly at 1:00 pm, EST.

The OSDBU mission is to ensure that small business concerns have maximum practicable opportunities to participate in DOT procurement opportunities as prime contractors and subcontractors. Capital is the lifeline of any businesses, but especially small businesses. Most entrepreneurs cannot start new businesses or grow their existing companies without adequate financing. To assist small businesses in that capacity, we are hosting a webinar in collaboration with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide an overview of available programs. The subjects that may be covered include:

• SBA Loan Programs, including Disaster loans

• Small Business Investment Company

For any questions, or concerns, please contact our office at:

202-366-1930 or email us at dot-osdbu@dot.gov.
