You’re listening to Fund Ready, a podcast series brought to you by the Greater Newark Enterprises Corporation, where we prepare New Jersey small business owners to successfully raise capital from community development financial institutions and other alternative sources.
We understand the challenges faced by small business owners when it comes to accessing capital, particularly for those in the black and Latino community, and we want to empower you with everything you need to know to make your business fund ready.
As a Community Development Financial Institution, we approach lending differently than traditional financial institutions. We do not just examine and make decisions based on credit scores but specialize in ways to help clients who may have difficulty accessing capital from traditional means. We assist entrepreneurs in growing economically stable businesses by helping them secure access to funds. Additionally, we provide the resources and know-how to close the racial funding gap to help make our clients bankable.
