Another round of “Meet the Lenders” has been scheduled for Aroostook County by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The events, which will be held in Fort Kent, Caribou and Houlton, are an opportunity for any start up business or existing business owners seeking financing or technical assistance to meet with representatives from area lending agencies, the SBA, Northern Maine Development Commission, micro-lenders and others to learn about funding options.
The events are similar to speed dating, where meetings are held one-on-on with the various lenders. Once a prospective borrower finishes with one institution it is on to the next, if necessary.
Events are Tuesday, March 25, from 6–8:30 p.m. at the Fort Kent Town Office; Wednesday, March 26, from 6–8:30 p.m. at the Caribou Motor Inn and Convention Center; and Thursday, March 27, at the Houlton Town Office from 6–8:30 p.m.
Pre registration is required. For more information, contact Sandra Fontaine at sandra.fontaine@sba.gov or by phone at (207) 622-8381. Sponsors for the event are Northern Maine Development Commission; Maine Centers for Women, Work, and Community; and U.S. Small Business Administration.
