Funding Finder Pinpoints Available COVID-19 Resources
Excelerate America unveils personalized search tool for curated national, regional small business relief programs
Excelerate America today officially launched a grant and loan search tool called Funding Finder (www.localfundingfinder.com) designed for small business owners and entrepreneurs seeking COVID-19 relief funding programs.
Funding Finder takes the work out of the small business loan and grant search, helping entrepreneurs and business owners find the financial help they need now – on both a local and national level – without all the research.
“Small business owners and entrepreneurs are busy enough simply trying to keep their businesses up and running. They do not have the time or patience to comb through spreadsheets and lists of unspecified programs or those that aren’t updated,” said Roy Lamphier, CEO, Excelerate America. “Users of the site get the specific national, local and other COVID-19 relief programs available to businesses in their area with a simple search of our system. The system is constantly updated because programs opening and closing with new ones are continually in the works. The Funding Finder is designed to keep businesses surviving and start thriving again.”
