National news sources have reported a staggering decrease in bank lending to small businesses in 2009. Small businesses have faced a variety of challenges during this latest recession and are hopeful the lending will improve in 2010.
What can small businesses expect from lenders in 2010?
- What has changed in lending, if anything?
- What do banks expect from borrowers?
- What lies ahead in small business loans?
- What SBA programs or guarantees exist now? In the future?
A panel of local lenders and Small Business Administration (SBA) officials will answer many of these questions during a “Free Lender’s Forum” on February 4, 2010. The forum will be held at the Dona Ana Community College Workforce Development Center, 2345 E. Nevada in Las Cruces, New Mexico from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Food and beverages will be provided, but space is limited. Please pre-register by calling 541-1583.
