Also, microloan lenders will be on hand to meet attendees in-person.  SBA Lender Relations Specialist Lynn Ann Vozniak will walk participants step-by-step through the process of communicating funding needs and introduce area Microloan lenders. “SBA Microloans are a great source for small-dollar financing” said SBA Western Pa District Director Dr. Kelly Hunt. “Microloan lenders provide up to $50,000 in capital and even more free assistance to borrowers. That really gives people the chance to open that small business and succeed.”
