    Learn How to Access the Funding Your Business Needs to Grow

    Join us on Wednesday, August 27th at 5:00 p.m. in the 3rd Floor Conference Room at Ravenswood City Hall for an interactive workshop designed to help small business owners understand the wide range of funding options available to them. 

    Hosted by Bryan Shaw of Advantage Valley, this session will cover grants, loans, and other financing sources — and what you need to do to qualify. Bring your questions and get real, practical answers from an experienced funding professional.

    Whether you’re looking to launch a new venture, expand your operations, or simply strengthen your financial footing, this workshop will equip you with valuable insights to move your business forward.

    Who is Bryan Shaw and Advantage Valley?

    Bryan Shaw is the Director of Entrepreneurial Development for Advantage Valley. 

    Whether you’re looking to sharpen your business skills, connect with other entrepreneurs, or take your idea to the next stage, Advantage Valley can help you.

    You can also speak to Bryan about taking advantage of their free one-on-one coaching session with one of their expert business coaches. 

    Bring all of your funding questions for Bryan!

    This is a broad subject, so Bryan welcomes you to come to the workshop prepared with your questions about accessing the right kind of funding for your business, regardless of your stage. 

    You will also leave the workshop with a handout that you can refer to when deciding which sources of funding to pursue.
