Funding for Founders: A Practical Access to Capital Workshop

Hosted by the Illinois Small Business Development Center at the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce

Join us and our partner Mona – led by award-winning professor, author, and entrepreneur Andrew Leon Hanna – for a highly actionable, hands-on workshop designed to help you understand and secure the capital your business needs. It will include a discussion of different forms of loans and other funding options, eligibility criteria, avoiding predatory loans, and more. This is not just a talk – at the end of this session, you will receive a personalized report with funding sources (e.g., loans, grants, government RFPs) that are good fits for your business, with one-on-one follow-on personalized support from expert coaches. Whether you’re launching, growing, or rethinking your capital strategy, this workshop will give you momentum, clarity, and tangible progress.
