Access to Capital

Seeking capital to grow your business or finance a new business venture? While Florida SBDCs do not loan money or administer grants, our Capital Access Specialists maintain valuable relationships with local lenders, understand their lending requirements and can help you locate, prepare, and obtain financing - traditional bank loans, government-backed loans, or loans provided by alternative lenders.

"I must say my experience has been beyond exceptional! I would like to express my gratitude to the SBDC for making this loan process such a painless and smooth experience."
