Startup Assistance [The Pitch]
The Pitch is a unique service of the SBRA, designed for someone that is interested in starting a new business or in need of additional capital to expand and grow. The Pitch program will assist the owner in preparing their business plan and presentation. Then, when ready, the owner will have an opportunity to “throw” their PITCH to a small group of bankers and investors to either get one of them to meet and discuss the opportunity or to get constructive comments on steps they will need to take in order to secure an interested lender.

Collective Minds
What better way to solve ongoing problems you’re facing in business than by sharing those problems with other business owners that have overcome similar obstacles. “Collective Minds” presents an unique opportunity to do exactly that – in a strictly confidential format that’s been formerly reserved for C-level executives in major corporations. By working together to share experiences, this group interaction of small business owners under the direction of a facilitator provides a unique approach to problem solving.
