The series begins Thursday, January 31, with a forum focusing on small business financing on the Island. Federal and local government agencies will also be in attendance to provide one-on-one assistance to business owners. The next event is scheduled for the spring, and will focus on government procurement opportunities. A summer forum, meanwhile, is designed for small businesses that are interested in exporting to international markets.This series is cosponsored by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the U.S. Virgin Islands/Puerto Rico district office of the U.S. Small Business Administration.
