New Service Helps Businesses Seeking Funding

Posted On: May 30, 2024

Volusia Business Resources (VBR) has launched a new tool called the Funding Readiness Center (FRC) to assist local entrepreneurs and small businesses seeking funding. Created in response to the current funding needs of the business community and developed through collaboration with affiliated partners of VBR and local commercial lenders, the FRC aims to simplify the often-complex process of navigating commercial funding options and loan approval procedures.

A key component of the FRC is the Readiness Checkup, a self-evaluation tool that allows users to assess their preparedness for the funding application process, highlighting areas needing improvement and offering video tips to enhance readiness. Additionally, the FRC helps users identify the most suitable funding options.
