In these days of difficult to find financing, there are still sources to assist with funding your needs.

Recently a new website was announced that can assist with sourcing financing.

Focused on financing, training and networking, the free resource provides information on such topics as small business loans and grants, business counseling, and marketing, as well as getting comprehensive training through local events and seminars.

RENI Publishing, in cooperation with the U.S. Small Business Administration, has launched a new, comprehensive online tool for small business owners.

Unlike other small business Web sites, the focus of the new site is local mapping. The site has over 17,000 resource listings that cover every state and major city in the United States, including Puerto Rico and Guam. Up-to-date mapping data provides directions to every financing source available to the small business owner, including small business loans and small business grants.

The site features the latest in social networking technology, allowing for user-managed profiles and events nationwide. Users also have free access to Small Business Resource magazine, published locally every year for the U.S. Small Business Administration.

In addition, special sections provide relevant information for minority-owned, women-owned and veteran-owned small businesses. The site also features motivational success stories and contact information for award-winning small businesses.

You may find this to be a good source of information.
