Small Business: Liquidity Options
We’re noticing that the traditional banking model may no longer be the right fit for small businesses as there are more businesses that requested financial assistance than there were businesses who actually received it. For those who did not apply or receive the PPP loan, what are the solutions or alternative options for lending? How are small businesses of color impacted by these relief options, traditional banking, and how are they to recover? Join us as we have an open and candid conversation about other creative liquidity options and how to position ourselves for recovery as a community.
