This webinar is a must for any small business that is in need of bid\, performance\, or payment bonds. SBA guarantees contract bonds but does not guarantee commercial bonds.

Nationwide\, SBA delivered $56 billion to small businesses and disaster-impacted communities in Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24). \nSPEAKER\nFord Scott\, Lender Relations Specialist\, U.S. Small Business Administration – Ford is responsible for marketing and providing hands-on assistance with SBA loan guaranty programs to lenders\, economic development organizations and prospective small business borrowers\, throughout Virginia. He received a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematical Sciences from Virginia Commonwealth University. \nLOCATION\nVirtual\nA Teams meeting link will be sent to registered attendees within 24 hours of webinar. \nCOST\nFree (registration required in order to receive Teams link) \nQuestions?\nContact Jamie Carrow
