Bridging the Capital Access Gap: Chapter 1, Lending Landscape
Although entrepreneurship is often touted as an arena of equal opportunity, there are major systemic barriers to realizing this ideal – one being access to capital. ICIC and LISC came together for Bridging the Capital Access Gap, a five part chapter series that takes an in-depth look at the small business financing industry and ways that business owners can use this knowledge to gain access to additional avenues of capital.
