Small Business Owners: You May Be Eligible for up to $30,000 and Technical Assistance Training! Last year, the City of Raleigh and Carolina Small Business Fund launched the Oak City Biz Labs program. This program is designed to help small businesses with storefronts in Raleigh that are still financially recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic by providing aid of up to $30,000, tied to technical assistance programs that help foster strategic and resilient business growth. Applications for the second round will be open from February 27th until March 12th. Applicants that were awarded funds for the first round of relief through the Oak City Biz Labs program are not eligible to apply. The applicants that received aid through the separate Raleigh Relief Fund created at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic are eligible to apply. Interested in applying? Please join the virtual information session on Monday, February 20th at 11am to learn about eligibility, program requirements, and how to apply. Register here!
