Own the Business. Own the Building.
Join the 3rd Annual Small Business Breakfast for a morning of practical insights, networking, and financing opportunities designed to help entrepreneurs grow and build long-term wealth through business ownership.
This year's keynote partner, SomerCor, will lead a special presentation and fireside chat featuring Manny Flores, President & CEO of SomerCor, Angelica Garcilozo, Chief Lending Officer at SomerCor, and Elisabeth Williams, Director of Business Lending. Together, they'll share expert guidance on SBA 504 financing, the Down Payment Assistance Program (DPAP), and strategies to help small business owners move from leasing to owning their commercial space.
Attendees will also learn how eligible businesses may qualify for up to $25,000 in down payment assistance, hear success stories from local entrepreneurs, and connect with valuable business resources—all while enjoying breakfast and networking with fellow business owners and community leaders.
