AEDC To Host Two Free Workshops For Small Businesses

1 min read

The Minority & Women-Owned Business Division of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission will host two free workshops on May 16 at the AEDC’s offices, 900 W. Capitol Ave. in Little Rock.

The workshops aim to assist small businesses in offering more products and services for state agencies.

A certification assistance workshop is set for 9-11 a.m. and will focus on the state’s minority business enterprise certification program. The program provides opportunities to bid on contracts and provide services for state agencies that might not otherwise be offered to smaller businesses.

A minority business loan mobilization guaranty program is set for 2-4 p.m. The program helps state-certified minority businesses obtain 90 percent of necessary capital – ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 – with loan guarantees for approved projects. Workshop attendees will learn about program eligibility and receive assistance with the application process for certification.

Register here for one or both classes.
