The coronavirus pandemic continues to impact business activity and consumer behavior. In the midst of this uncertainty, small businesses seek opportunities for sustainability and growth. Whether you are seeking economic injury dollars or continuing forward with a planned expansion, we know you have questions about the lending landscape and access to capital in Jefferson Parish. That’s why JEDCO and the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce teamed up to offer a Prosper Jefferson webinar on Small Business Financing during the Pandemic. The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, August 5th, at 10:00 am.
