Winrock International starts small business program in Phillips County

Winrock International is providing small businesses in Phillips County with one-on-one guidance on how to navigate funding available through recent federally-approved programs. With only a fraction of the more than 200,000 small businesses in Arkansas applying for funding offered through the Small Business Administration (SBA) and other federal agencies, Winrock hopes to ensure that Phillips County’s small business owners can access federal resources. With funding from the Walton Family Foundation, Winrock will provide technical assistance to help the small business owners determine their needs, complete forms, draft loan applications, navigate federal assistance programs and decide the next best steps for their businesses, including follow-up consultations for additional business development needs.
