Small business marketplace lender OnDeck has partnered with SCORE to deliver small business financing workshops to volunteer SCORE mentors across the country.
Developed by a team including OnDeck’s Head of Small Business Education Ty Kiisel and a group of SCORE volunteer business mentors, An Insider’s View: Securing Capital to Grow Your Business, helps SCORE clients learn about alternative finance.
“Small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs will walk away from these workshops with a strong grasp of their lending options, empowered to make informed financing decisions to fuel their business’s growth,” OnDeck CEO Noah Breslow said.
Workshop participants will also be helped through OnDeck’s and SCORE’s interactive Business Fundability Quiz, the results of which will direct people to appropriate financing options.
“At SCORE, we regularly meet with small business owners who are unsure of what financing options are available to them,” said David R. Bobbitt, President of the SCORE Foundation and Vice President of Development at the SCORE Association. “Informed small business owners can compare options for themselves and are more likely to locate the funds they need to put their goals into action.”
