The Non-Traditional Lenders Forum (NTLF) is an event series hosted by Northspan to raise awareness of lending sources and programs available in the Northland that might not be on your radar.
Many great sources of capital and other forms of support exist in our region. Have you heard of them? Here are a handful of examples of organizations you can learn about and meet at NTLF:
- APEX (Area Partnership for Economic Expansion)
- Arrowhead Regional Development Commission
- DAWN (Driving Access to Wealth & Networks)
- Entrepreneur Fund
- Great River Energy
- Minnesota Business Finance Corporation
- Minnesota Department of Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation
- Northland Foundation
- Small Business Development Center
Join us for NTLF events to learn more about these funding options, meet with representatives, and network at locations and venues throughout the region. NTLF events are free and lunch is provided—just be sure to RSVP!
We encourage bankers, lenders, for-profit business owners, and YOU to attend! To receive updates for future programs, join our email list by contacting Northspan Operations Specialist Caitlin Vander Wal at cvanderwal@northspan.org.
