Government-backed loans will be among topics of this week’s free webinar presented by the Small Business Development Center at CSU Bakersfield.  

Host and SBDC director, Kelly Bearden will begin the webinar with an update on the $900 million State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI), a look at the economy, and updates on remaining available government pandemic relief programs. 

Bearden will be joined by Craig Howells, Mission Bank’s SBA Division Manager. Howells will discuss Small Business Administration’s guaranteed loans including the 7(a), and the USDA’s business and industry guaranteed loan program. 

Questions from attendees will be taken.
