About this Event
Looking for funding to start or grow your business, but not sure where to begin? Join Kiva NWA and the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce for a morning of coffee, breakfast, and real talk about access to capital.
Kiva offers 0% interest, no-fee loans of up to $15,000 to small business owners. No minimum credit score, no collateral, and no hidden costs. Instead of a traditional bank process, your loan is crowdfunded by your own community and by lenders from around the world.
In this workshop, you’ll learn:
- How Kiva loans work and who is eligible
- How to apply, step by step
- How the crowdfunding process works and how to get your loan funded faster
- How the Walton Family Foundation match can help your campaign hit its goal
- What you can use the funds for
We’ll leave plenty of time for questions, so bring your business ideas and anything you’ve been wondering about. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to take your next step, this is a great chance to meet other local entrepreneurs and get your questions answered in person.
Who should attend
Small business owners, entrepreneurs, and anyone in Northwest Arkansas thinking about starting a business who needs access to affordable funding.
