Financial Assessment Tool Now Available on OBO Website

Funding is an extremely important element to starting a business. It can also be one of the most difficult elements to navigate.

Through its online Financial Education and Assesment Tool, the Office of Business Opportunity offers several resources to assist business owners who are seeking funding. These resources are designed to connect business owners with appropriate financing resources for their small business or startup.

The website features a Financing Directory, which includes a list of funders grouped by the types of financing they provide. There is also a Financing Learning Module, which explains the when, why, and how of looking for financing.

Finally, there is a Financing Needs Assessment Survey, which helps business owners identify possible financing resources. Business owners can also use this form to request additional assistance from OBO.

To access the tool, go to https://www. houstontx.gov/obo/financingtools.html. The Financial Education and Assesment Tool is available in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
