Lender Roundtable & Open House Series

 

Join the Massachusetts Small Business Development Center (MSBDC), in collaboration with our partners at the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), as we convene lending partners, financial institutions, and small business leaders for a statewide series of events designed to facilitate connection, collaboration, and insight!

Each event will begin with an SBA lender roundtable, which will provide an opportunity for lenders to hear the latest from the U.S. Small Business Administration on loan programs, initiatives and market trends. The roundtable will then adjourn to an open house designed to connect small businesses with SBA resources and lenders. These events will bring together key stakeholders in the small business ecosystem to discuss trends, share expertise, and strengthen partnerships that drive economic growth across the Commonwealth. The Massachusetts Small Business Development Center is seeking to partner with lenders to sponsor these events. Sponsorship deadline is May 29, 2026.
