Growth Initiative
•Expanding Access
This is a collaborative project between Western Carolina University (WCU) and Mountain BizWorks to increase CDFI small business lending and entrepreneurial training in the Southwestern Region—Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Jackson, Macon, and Swain counties. With support from a USDA Rural Development grant, we’re very pleased to be able to increase our work with Southwestern area entrepreneurs and partners.
We will be holding events, consultations, and lending services across this region’s footprint. Connect with us in your backyard.
Use our easy scheduling tool to book a free consultation with one of our lenders or program specialists. We look forward to learning more about your business goals and how Mountain BizWorks may be of assistance.
