MONROE - Funding options for small businesses? What is available? How is it accessed? How do you apply for a loan? What information do lenders want? Ever asked those questions?
Ruth Rohlich, Wisconsin Women's Business Initiative Corporation, will come with some the answers to the Green County Area Entrepreneurs and Inventors meeting, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 30, at the AmericInn Lodge Conference Room, 424 4th Ave., Monroe. The evening event is free and open to the public. Refreshments are available.
Meet WWBIC representative Rohlich and learn about a variety of financing options and the steps necessary to apply for a loan. Participants will learn what alternative financing agencies are available and which program will best suit their business financing needs.
Rohlich joined WWBIC in 2008 as Project Director of the WWBIC South Central office in Madison. She studied political science and English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has experience in both the public and private sectors. For four years, Rohlich owned her own floral and gift business on Madison's East Side.
