Unless you’ve won your fortune, you will need access to affordable, reliable capital for daily operations and future investments. However, capital programs can vary widely. Find out what financial option makes the most sense for your business by attending Accessing Capital for Defense Suppliers, hosted by the AMP SoCal Strengthening Competitiveness Program. Learn about financer expectations and the conditions for investment and the difference between lending sources.
The event will feature a panel discussion covering different capital access options, such as:
-
Equity
-
Senior Debt ($250,000 and above)
-
CDFI Lender ($250,000 and below)
-
Crowdfunding
One-on-One Lender Meetings
A personal lending interview will also be offered to the first 10 registrants, which includes free pre-meeting financial support for those that meet the following criteria*:
- Located in Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange or San Diego County.
- Small to medium manufacturing business within the Department of Defense Supply Chain
- Since 2012 have experienced reduced Department of Defense procurement and contracting (whether directly or through the Defense supply chain).
- Agree to participate in a post-meeting follow up survey in the next 3 months
Assistance will include financial organization support so that you will better be able to tell the story of your business and inspire confidence with your planning and business acumen. Our business financial experts will then personalize the AMP SoCal Financial Opportunity slide deck template to best suit your business’ needs and strengths.
