Small Business Majority invites you to their event

California Rebuilding Fund for Micro Business-Owners: Connect to your local ecosystem

About this event

For many of California's smallest business owners, the Paycheck Protection Program, EIDL and other SBA loan programs were simply not accessible or sufficient to save their business. Today, many business owners are cash-strapped and cannot afford standard loans offered by lenders.

Please join the California African American Chambers of Commerce and Small Business Majority to learn about the new California Rebuilding Fund. This loan fund is an opportunity created through a new public-private partnership called the CASE Taskforce. The California Rebuilding Fund is designed to help California's smallest business owners who need a simple, low-cost loan to adapt to the impacts of COVID-19. Loans will be facilitated through community lenders throughout the state.

Topics of discussion:

  • Overview of the California Rebuilding Fund
  • How to get loan ready and how to apply
  • Finding a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) near you
  • Resources in your local place of business, like SCORE and Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs)

A brief question and answer section will follow
