FREE Business Financing Workshop
The Bloomfield Development Corporation along with Dollar Bank sponsored a Free Business Financing Workshop for existing and start-up businesses. It was held on April 26 at Alexander’s Italian Bistro, 5104 Liberty Avenue. While everyone enjoyed delicious appetizers, Colleen Molinero from Dollar Bank talked about the different loans available for small and new businesses and how to apply for them. She was followed by Raymond Garofalo also from Dollar Bank who explained how important a good personal credit score is and gave us tips on how to get and maintain one.
Josette Fitzgibbons and John Burke from the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh were there as well. They described the help available to businesses though the URA. Jossette explained the Streetscape, Facade and Best fit programs offered by our Mainstreet Program.
All the speakers took questions, there were all very easy to talk to and provided a lot of information in less then two hours. If you would like information on the presentation, please call or e-mail Terry Aiello, Mainstreet Manager or contact the offices at 412-681-8800.
Look for financial workshop in the future sponsored by other Bloomfield banks and the BDC.
