About

The State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) Technical Assistance Program, provided by the SBTDC, offers assistance to small businesses in North Carolina facing limited access to capital, guiding them through loan applications, business development, financial management, and strategic planning. 

The program is part of a nationwide initiative funded by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and is administered in North Carolina by the NC Rural Center on behalf of the NC Department of Commerce.

If you are a small business owner looking to borrow money to grow but you don’t know where to start, how to talk to a lender, or how to prepare for a loan, then the SSBCI Technical Assistance Program can help.
