Secure Your Location, Finish Build-Out On Time and Finance It. Navigating leases, negotiations with commercial landlords and permitting can be less stressful for small business owners if they plan right, are aligned with experts and make the right connections along the way. Obtaining financing can move more swiftly if small business owners have connections in these areas. Come hear from experts and move plans for your business forward.

Small business owners planning openings, expansions and/or relocations now must also reset their plans to respond to the impact that recovery from Hurricane Harvey
is having on the greater Houston area.
Houston Community College presents a collaborative event to assist our small business community. Come join HCC, the Houston District Office of the Small Business Administration, and local experts on commercial leasing, permitting and financing, to get some insights on how to move plans for your business forward.
