Small Business Capital Funding Panel

Access to capital can be a key factor in helping a small business launch, grow, or reach its next milestone. Join the Missouri Women’s Business Center (MoWBC) on Thursday, November 19, 2026, for our Small Business Capital Funding Panel, bringing together entrepreneurs, lenders, and financial professionals for a conversation about funding opportunities and resources available to small businesses.

Whether you're preparing to launch a business, investing in equipment, expanding operations, or looking for ways to strengthen your financial position, understanding your funding options is an important part of planning for success. Our featured speakers will share insights into different approaches to financing, preparing for capital, and finding resources that align with your business goals.

Featured speakers include:

• U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), sharing information about SBA programs and resources that support small business financing.
• AltCap CDFI, discussing community development lending and alternative pathways to capital.
• Aligned Wealth Group, offering a financial perspective on planning for business growth and long-term financial success.
• Enterprise Development Corporation, is a non profit SBA 504 lender focusing on providing long term fixed rate commercial financing.

The panel will explore how traditional financing, community development lending, and financial planning can work together to help entrepreneurs make informed decisions. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from industry professionals, ask questions, and make connections that can help them navigate their next steps.

Lenders and community partners are also encouraged to attend. Building stronger relationships among financial institutions, resource providers, and entrepreneurs can create more opportunities to connect business owners with the right funding and support.
