The Chamber is proud to offer quality and timely webinar topics with government officials and business professionals to provide you with updates you want and a platform to ask your questions. Today we presented a webinar on Small Business Funding Status and Updates – Federal, State, County and City.
Given the different eligibility requirements for federal, county, state and city funding resources, this webinar provided status updates for all of the small business funding options, including helpful tips on what is still available, how to prepare and how to check the status of an existing application.
