Chambers of Commerce
The community's chambers of commerce are a valuable resource for new businesses seeking to establish in Marion County, and existing businesses needing information or assistance. Check out your local chamber!
SBA Loans
Since its founding on July 30, 1953, the U.S. Small Business Administration has delivered about 20 million loans, loan guarantees, contracts, counseling sessions and other forms of assistance to small businesses.
The SBA's current business loan portfolio of roughly 219,000 loans worth more than $45 billion makes it the largest single financial backer of U.S. businesses in the nation.
Startup Kansas!
The next round of StartUp Kansas is open!! StartUp Kansas is a statewide fund designed to work with local NetWork Kansas partner organizations that provide and assist entrepreneurs in the acquistion of capital. To learn more about StartUp Kansas or to submit an application, please visit the "Resource Partners Only" section of the NetWork Kansas website.
In addition, you can read about the new NetWork Kansas Growth Grant on our website. This is a new initiative that we believe will be very beneficial to entrepreneurs and small business owners throughout Kansas and we expect to roll it out very soon.
