Federal help for tribal small business
Millions of dollars are flowing into tribal nations right now as a means to encourage small business development.
The money is an extension of the federal COVID relief package known as the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI), allowing tribes to administer lines of credit that are often hard to come by.
Join Native America Calling to find out about some of the promising plans for SSBCI loans and what might come of them.
