Description


GAACC Biz Essentials Workshop: Affordable Capital

Join us for a collaborative workshop designed for small business owners who are ready to grow, expand, and thrive! Connect with local partners, including the City of Austin, BCL of Texas, Bank OZK, and JP Morgan Chase, and learn about funding opportunities, interest-free loans (yes you read that right), the DECA Loan Fund, business support programs, and financial tools available in your community.

Enjoy lite bites, build connections, ask questions, and walk away with new opportunities to grow your business. Access to capital is no longer your barrier to success. Register today!
