Microloans & Small Business Loans
Christine Hess
Planning for a business start-up is one thing, but finding funding for business start-up is yet another. Often, great business ideas are not implemented, because financial feasibility is not a focus during the business planning process. This webcast will review the components of financial feasibility during the business planning process, including adequate capitalization for business success. Micro and small business loan products will be discussed including local and national resources. Discussion points will address who is likely to qualify for a loan and what to do if an entrepreneur is not able to get a loan.

emergency aid & help in rent needed
Hello Mr. Jones
Thanks for following our blog!
The best resources we can recommend for any financial assistance are:
http://www.govbenefits.gov for any state of federal benefits programs.
211 or your local United Way for community level resources. You can try calling 211 (like 411 but you get a person) or look up your local office at http://national.unitedway.org
Housing counseling lines can help you find rental assistance programs in your area. Visit http://portal.hud.gov/portal/page/portal/HUD/topics/rental_assistance for more information on these programs.
Finally, if you’re a person with a disability, check with your local Independent Living Center. They can help you find accessible housing and identify programs you may benefit from. You can look up your local ILC at http://rtc.ruralinstitute.umt.edu/CIL/centersByZip.asp
We hope these resources are helpful to you! Good luck!
