Business Workshop Series #3 Focuses on Small Business Financing

Business Workshop Series: #3

Small Business Financing

BERLIN, NH — The Coös Economic Development Corporation (CEDC), in partnership with the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce, continued its five-part Business Workshop Series with its third session, Small Business Financing. Local business owners and professionals gathered at the Service Credit Union Heritage Park Cookhouse in Berlin to explore practical funding options, financing strategies, and resources to help their businesses grow and succeed.

The workshop focused on demystifying the funding process and making resources approachable for small businesses. Participants discussed various financing paths, strategies for starting or expanding operations, and actionable steps to build long-term financial stability. The open setting allowed attendees to ask direct questions, exchange ideas, and reflect on how to apply these strategies to their own ventures.

The collaborative atmosphere throughout the afternoon highlighted the primary goal of the series: bringing members of the local business community together to learn from one another and walk away with practical strategies they can implement immediately. CEDC and the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce are proud to continue this partnership to deliver educational opportunities that strengthen businesses across the region.

Thank you to the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce for providing a wonderful venue, and to all the local business owners and entrepreneurs who attended and made the session so productive!
