Description

Small businesses have more financing options than ever, but understanding which tools to use, and when, is key to sustainable growth. Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) specialize in flexible, accessible capital for businesses navigating early-stage challenges, uneven cash flow, or limited collateral. In this interactive roundtable, hear directly from CDFI leaders as they break down their products, eligibility, and real-world use cases. Learn how CDFIs complement traditional banking by offering more flexible underwriting, faster access to working capital, and technical assistance that supports long-term growth. Whether you’re a business owner refining your capital strategy or a chamber looking to expand resources for your members, you’ll leave with practical insights, stronger referral pathways, and new ways to connect to the right funding at the right time.
