Community Capital Happy Hour

Are you looking for better methods to invest your money than in the stock market, mutual funds or 401k?

Are you a business that would like to see additional access to capital outside of SBA loans and other traditional options?

Community Capital Happy Hour is a chance to address these questions and talk about opportunities that are available right here, right now! We will hear from James Frazier with Local Investing Opportunities Network (LION) in Port Townsend, WA about their innovative approach to local investing and its inspiring success stories. Farm Power Northwest in Mt. Vernon will also join the session to tell us more about how they have taken advantage of SCOR (Small Business Offering Registration) and their pioneering success in building a local investing network for their business.

As Frazier notes in a 2010 article:

"In spite of the risks, and the weak economy, from the inception of LION to the date of this writing, none of the local investments of LION members have failed! Most businesses find they can pay less interest to local investors than they would have paid to a bank, and most local investors are receiving more interest than they would have received on their savings account."
