Organized by the Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center (ASBTDC), this event connects current and prospective business owners directly with local lenders in a dynamic environment. The event will take place May 13 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Reynolds Business Center.

Lender Quick-Connect will bring together 14 banks, credit unions, and alternative lenders. 

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in one-on-one conversations with lending professionals, gaining valuable insights into funding options, application requirements and what lenders look for in loan applications.

“Lender Quick-Connect is an excellent opportunity to pitch a project to several potential local funding partners in a short period of time and explore financing options available through banks, credit unions, microlenders, and Community Development Financial Institutions,”said ASBTDC State Director Laura Fine.

The event aims to empower entrepreneurs to confidently pursue the capital they need to launch or expand their ventures. Whether you’re a startup seeking seed money or an established business looking to grow, Lender Quick-Connect offers a unique platform to learn about financial resources and make meaningful connections.
