Business owners seeking funding will be able to meet with lending experts from BEFCOR and other area lenders and financial representatives at the “Business Capital 2011: Shaking the Money Tree” event on March 10 sponsored by the Rowan-Cabarrus Community College’s Small Business Center and the Catawba College Ketner School of Business. Richard Bargoil, Executive Director/CEO of BEFCOR will moderate a panel for owners of existing businesses titled “Finding the Money Tree” that will discuss funding opportunities, requirements and new programs available to help business owners get needed financing.

Rural Economic Development Center, Self-Help Community Development organization, N.C. Institute of Minority Economic Development, N.C.
