LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Is your business or business idea in need of capital?

The county of Lake wants to help.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7, the county of Lake will host a small and micro business owner training focused on “How to Get a Business Loan.”

This valuable event, hosted by program operator Community Development Services, or CDS, is part of the county of Lake Small and Micro Business Assistance Program, funded through the State of California’s Community Development Block Grant, or CDBG, program.

The workshop will be held at the Lucerne Alpine Senior Center, 3985 Country Club Drive, Lucerne.

Participants will receive information and assistance in the following subject areas:

• Preparations to access business capital;
• How lenders look at loans;
• Credit building and repair tools;
• QuickBooks to develop business financial statements and revenue and cost forecasting.

These are some of the building blocks you need to obtain business financing, and this event is well suited to those thinking about starting a business, as well as existing business owners seeking business capital.

There is no cost to attend, but space is limited, and we expect there will be significant interest.
