About this workshop

What if one connection could unlock your funding, and the right partners and resources to help your business move forward? The SBA is more than a source of funding; it is the epicenter of a powerful small business ecosystem, connecting YOU with local resources, lenders, business advisors, contracting support, and opportunities to grow.

The Mason SBDC, in collaboration with the Town of Herndon, welcomes the SBA Washington Metropolitan District Office for an exclusive workshop on Tuesday, September 15, 2026 from 12:00 - 2:30 PM. Lunch will be provided.

Geared towards new, established, and growing companies, B2C, B2B, or B2G, join us for this no-cost in-person workshop at Office Evolution, Herndon to hear about:

  • Identifying local SBA connections & partnerships
  • Business pathways
  • SBA-supported funding & more
