Fast Business Start is a free webinar where attendees can connect directly with a team of experts to gain information and get their most pressing questions answered and learn how to start a business from Loan Mantra and the Charleston Regional Development Alliance. This free hands-on webinar helps equip budding entrepreneurs and those interested in starting a business with the tools they need to start and grow. The series is designed to help business owners, entrepreneurs, innovators, and start-ups to have a place to get free help, ask questions, and express concerns through this special discussion, designed for them.
"Starting a business can be overwhelming. This is a way that we can celebrate South Carolina Day that makes a difference and helps our neighbors build our community," says Raj Tulshan, founding partner of Loan Mantra, which is headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina. "This discussion is particularly important to my colleagues and I, who are dedicated to building small business in South Carolina."
Tulshan, who has a background in both investment and small business finance, has helped countless owners finance and grow their small businesses to the tune of $800MM. As the founder of a minority-certified business, Tulshan is committed to democratizing the lending process for all borrowers. Tulshan will be joined by Michael J. Graney, Vice President at CRDA (Charleston Regional Development Alliance) and leader of the organization's global business development efforts. Mike was awarded the prestigious 2024 SCbio Pinnacle Award for his work building the life science cluster in South Carolina. Mike's focus is on inward investment to Charleston, with a particular emphasis on European Foreign Direct Investment. Additionally, Mike concentrates on capital formation to support entrepreneurs building their companies.
Stuck on how to start? Don't know how to find funding or look for a grant? Struggling to figure out which licenses and permits might be needed? Finding it tough to know how to incorporate, which business type to file and how to get certifications for minority, women, veteran-owned or for a disadvantage business? Unsure of what South Carolina industries are growing and projections for what is ahead to plug into thriving economic development? Get these questions answered and more.
Talk live with experts in business funding, filing and licensing, South Carolina economic development and marketing. This webinar is part of an upcoming series to help empower South Carolinians and all business owners to develop strong businesses and build confidence. Future topics on the schedule currently are:
October: From AI to Accounting: Tech for the Sake of Humans
November: Big Brand Marketing on a Small Business Budget
