Manatee Mobile Assistance Center Provides Disaster Loan Support to Local Businesses

The Florida Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at USF will bring its mobile unit to the Manatee Chamber of Commerce in Bradenton in response to recent challenges. From Monday, October 21, to Thursday, October 24, local business owners can visit the center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for guidance on various disaster relief programs.

The mobile unit will offer support with the following programs:
