If youve heard about how Starbucks is going to try to promote the creation of jobs, you heard right.
Heres the info from Create Jobs For USA:
Starbucks is teaming up with the Opportunity Finance Network® (OFN) to help create and sustain jobs. This new initiative is called Create Jobs for USA., and will provide capital grants to select Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs). The CDFIs will provide loans to underserved community businesses, which include small businesses, microenterprises, nonprofit organizations, commercial real estate, and affordable housing. The goal of Create Jobs for USA is to bring people and communities together to create and sustain jobs throughout America.
So how do you see if you can get a loan?
Well, first you want to make sure you dont qualify for conventional funding, i.e. a bank loan. If you dont, take the next step.
You have to go to Opportunity Finance Network and locate a Community Development Finance Institution that serves your geographical area.
They specialize in working with small and start up businesses that dont qualify for conventional financing and may provide training and support services in the bargain to help you create more jobs and prosperity in the USA!
