Are you a small business owner or nonprofit organization looking for funding options in Columbus?

Kiva is a character-based, community-backed lender. Kiva provides funding opportunities for small businesses and nonprofits who do not fit into the box of traditional conventional financing due to limited collateral, credit challenges, limited investments, or being an early-stage business/organization. Attend this session to learn more about Kiva’s 0% loans!
