Date: Thursday 02/19/2026

Time: 11 am – 12:30 pm – Online

Cost: FREE

Join the Jacksonville Women’s Business Center (JWBC) and the North Florida office of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) us for a FREE workshop to learn about the programs and services available under the Made in America Manufacturing Initiative, including the SBA’s new, specialized 7(a) MARC Loan Program (Manufacturers’ Access to Revolving Credit) as well as the programs available through the JWBC.

The MARC program was designed with product-based and smaller manufacturing businesses in mind, and it may offer more flexible ways to access working capital, especially for businesses managing expenses like:

-Inventory and raw materials

-Production costs and operating expenses

-Seasonal cash flow swings

-Scaling to fulfill new or larger customer orders

If you’ve ever thought, “We could grow faster if we had easier access to working capital,” this is a great opportunity to learn more.

The Made in America Manufacturing Initiative commits to a deeper collaboration and coordination of federal agency resources designed to:

-Increase access to capital

-Improve opportunities for public and private investments in support of manufacturing in America

-Help small businesses export their products on a global scale
