Empresa Financing

By: Anthony Ruiz
Regional Director
Maryland Small Business Development Center
What would it mean to you to know of three different financing sources that provide unsecured financing from $5,000 to $50,000?
Let me introduce you to these sources below, along with their different strengths and limitations. In addition, in future features in our Chamber’s newsletter, I will have the pleasure of introducing you to various other creative financing sources and techniques. My career experience of 10 years in international and commercial banking, 10 years in turnaround management and 15 years in business management consulting has enabled me to seek out and utilize these financing products for my clients. Now then through the Maryland Small Business Development Center. Let’s get started! |
