GHA Training Series: Funding Your Business
In this session, we share ideas for funding your business start-up. Each business and business owner has unique start-up needs, as a result most business owners combine multiple sources for start-up funds to launch their business. We invite featured guests to share how they funded their businesses, what resources they recommend, and how they communicate their funding needs to meet their individual start-up needs.
