Funding is consistently among the top concerns shared by our readers. As part of our “Money” issue of In Business Magazine, our editorial staἀ has created the Ḁrst annual Business Lending Guide. This guide is a listing of local lenders, contacts and resources that will assist business owners in Ḁnding lending opportunities. We contacted federally and state-chartered banks, credit unions and selected other lenders and resources to provide information about the variety of loans or assistance programs they oἀer locally. This guide will be available online and through our partner organizations through December 2012.
