This is particularly   impacting to small businesses and entrepreneurs in need of outside sources of   financing to establish or expand their operations. Though personal savings   and family investment do serve as options, the majority of all start-ups and   existing businesses use credit-based products (credit cards, bank and home   equity loans, etc.) as their primary financing tools. Join us as we discuss   how to expand during a credit crunch, strategies to be best positioned for   business loans, and conventional and non-conventional loan programs available   to small businesses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
