Small Business Loan Applications- Why Are They Asking Me That?
Business Portal Events
There are more financing options for small businesses available today than ever before, and that includes online lending. What differentiates online lenders from traditional lenders, like banks, is that online lenders typically have a quicker and easier process, from application to funding—making the application process a day or two rather than weeks or months with traditional lenders. What’s more, many online lenders do not require a business plan or specific assets be identified as collateral to secure the loan.

Walkinar: “Walking the Walk of Maryland’s Pedestrian Agenda”
DOT Events
This fourth and final Walktober webinar includes welcome remarks from MDOT Secretary Greg Slater and session will share information about the many local walk initiatives in Maryland, how they function and how other communities can learn from their successes.

Register online for free. Read MCDOT's press release for more information.
Sandra Brecher, MCDOT, Office of Transportation Policy will discuss Montgomery County’s “Walk & Ride Challenge,” one of the campaigns used by Transportation Management Districts to educate and engage employers and employees about alternatives to driving alone to work.

Accounting For the CARES Act (Part 2)
Business Portal Events
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act became law on March 27 as a response to the market volatility and instability resulting from the pandemic. The CARES Act includes cash payments to taxpayers, expanded unemployment insurance, increased funding for healthcare providers, small business loans, and tax relief to individuals and businesses. The Act’s major business and individual income tax provisions are generally intended to increase cash flow and to enable businesses to continue operations and pay employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. Business owners and individuals will benefit from PKS & Company’s in-depth answers to questions regarding the implications of the stimulus package and an understanding of the PPP loan forgiveness process, including relaxed restrictions on how the loan money can be used and an extended period to use the funds.

Business Portal Events
Hispanic-owned businesses are the fastest-growing entrepreneurs in the United States, and according to a study from Stanford University, they contributed approximately $500 billion in annual sales to our nation’s economy.
Although they are becoming an economic force, the lack of access to capital continues to be one of the major factors blocking the progress and growth of Hispanic business owners.
In this webinar, presented by CEO, SCORE Mentor and business funding expert Hannah Fernandez, you will gain a better understanding of the funding options that exist for small businesses in the "missing middle" gap, where the sought after capital amount is too small for a traditional bank or too big for a microfinance institution or nonprofit lender (typically between $50K-$2MM).
Attendees will learn:
The challenges faced by entrepreneurs gaining access to capital
Alternative funding options available for small business owners who fall within the “missing middle” gap
Best ways to increase your chances of getting…

There are more financing options for small businesses available today than ever before, and that includes online lending. What differentiates online lenders from traditional lenders, like banks, is that online lenders typically have a quicker and easier process, from application to funding—making the application process a day or two rather than weeks or months with traditional lenders. What’s more, many online lenders do not require a business plan or specific assets be identified as collateral to secure the loan.

The Bankruptcy Code's Best Kept Secret: How Chapter 12 Can Protect and Transform the Farm
Events
While bankruptcy is often associated with negative connotations, filing for Chapter 12 relief can also present opportunity for farmers. Not only can it help farms avoid or recover from financial distress; it can also help save taxes due when transferring a farm, and greatly expand farmers’ options to sell, transfer, or transform their operations.
If you or your organization advises, loans to, or works with farmers, join our free webinar to learn about this potent yet under-utilized tool. A panel of experts will share how the Chapter 12 option works, equipping you with information essential to advising the agricultural community in any state.
Panelists Include: ,
Colleen A. Brown, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge, as moderator;
Jan M. Sensenich, Chapter 12 Trustee;
Peter Fitzgerald, Vermont Economic Development Authority; and,

Days of Commemoration
Lhabab Düchen is one of the four Buddhist festivals commemorating four events in the life of the Buddha, according to Tibetan traditions. This is a Buddhist festival celebrated to observe the descent of Buddha from heaven back to earth. Buddha had left for heaven at the age of 41, having ascended to The Heaven of Thirty-Three (Trayastrimsa) in order to give teachings to benefit the gods in the desire realms and to repay the kindness of his mother by liberating her from Samsara. He was exhorted by his follower and representative Maudgalyayana to return, and after a long debate managed to return. This is considered to be one of the eight great deeds of the Buddha. On Lhabab Duchen, the effects of positive or negative actions are multiplied ten million times.

Business Portal Events
There are more financing options for small businesses available today than ever before, and that includes online lending. What differentiates online lenders from traditional lenders, like banks, is that online lenders typically have a quicker and easier process, from application to funding—making the application process a day or two rather than weeks or months with traditional lenders. What’s more, many online lenders do not require a business plan or specific assets be identified as collateral to secure the loan.

County Holidays
Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, is observed annually on November 11. From 1971 until 1977, it was observed on the fourth Monday in October, but in 1978 it was restored to the original date of November 11. The first Armistice Day was proclaimed on November 11, 1919 to mark the signing of the armistice on November 11, 1918 that ended World War I. The name of the holiday was changed officially to Veterans Day when President Dwight Eisenhower signed an act of Congress "to honor veterans on the eleventh day of November of each year a day dedicated to world peace."
Montgomery County government will observe this holiday.
