Capital for Texas Small Business Forum
 
The Texas Department of Agriculture is excited to host a small business forum during National Small Business Week. This year’s theme is: “Dream Big, Start Small.” During this free event, we aim to celebrate and promote small, minority, veteran, woman, disadvantaged and historically underutilized businesses.

The forum is an introduction to TDA’s new Capital for Texas (C4T) small business loan program. C4T is designed to increase rural and other under-served communities small businesses’ access to capital and enable private entrepreneurs to make market-driven decisions to grow jobs, assist their growth potential and employment capabilities through partnering community development financial institutions.

This program supports TDA’s goals of empowering rural communities and cultivating winning strategies for rural Texas, by providing finance options to small businesses and manufacturers that are creditworthy, but are not getting the loans they need to expand and create jobs.

All industries are encouraged to attend. The event features a session on access to capital presented by the partnering community development financial institutions, highly informative presentations on how to grow your business by becoming certified as a GO TEXAN member and as a HUB, DBE, WBE, MBE and/or SBE, and a power networking session with some of the featured presenters and other invited guests.

To show our appreciation for the hard work, dedication and contributions small businesses make to the economy, there will be a raffle drawing held during the Power Networking Session. In order to be eligible for the drawing, you must register and attend the morning session. Business cards will be used for the drawing and will be collected at the entrance of the Power Networking session. You must be present at the time of the drawing to win. Space is limited; reserve your seat today by clicking here. For more information, contact Dinita Caldwell, Director of HUB/MWBE Programs at (512) 463-8496.
