County to Host November 8 Workshop: "Funding Solutions for your Business"

Access to capital remains an important issue for our small business community. Today many financing products are available to entrepreneurs and companies. Selecting the right funding solution may lead to additional sales growth and job creation. Crowdfunding, which allows companies to raise capital from a number of investors through the internet and social media, is another financial tool for companies.
