Our chapter has an active Finance Committee made up of counselors who have financial
experience in a variety of industries. We meet regularly with bankers and community
groups who have money to lend, to learn about their interests and requirements. With
this knowledge we can match our clients' needs with the funding sources that are most
likely to be available to them. In the past year, we have helped businesses ranging from a
hair salon to a coffee roaster to a woman-owned construction company specializing in
doors to obtain fmancing.

We regularly give workshops at which you can learn more about what types of loans are
available, including special loans for veterans and military personnel and their spouses
and for export/import businesses. We also provide information on peer-to-peer lending. 

Because only a few lenders are willing to consider funding start-
up businesses, we have two workshops - #206, Financing Your New Business and #207,
Funding Your Growing Business. Pick the one that best suits your situation to get up-to-
date information on financing possibilities for you.

In addition, as part of our one-on-one mentoring program, members of the Finance
Committee counsel clients on the best financing sources for their particular situations and
help them to put together the application documents. SCORE counselors often work as a
team, providing different types of expertise to individual clients. When you request
counseling via our website, tell us as much as possible about your business needs. If
possible, you will be assigned to a counselor who has experience in your type of
business, and if you need financing, you will also be assigned to a member of the Finance
Committee for help with that process.
