The Carolina Small Business Development Fund is playing an extremely important role in the Covid-19 crisis for small businesses. The Fund offers affordable financing for small and medium-sized businesses, holistic technical assistance (including disaster recovery), and evidence-based economic development research.

The Triangle Business Journal published “Economic Damage in NC due to COVID-19? Here’s an estimate” on April 7, 2020 highlighting the Fund’s recent research report,  Assessing the Economic Impacts of COVID-19 on North Carolina’s Small Business Community.

The Fund has also compiled a list of COVID-19 related grants and resources for entrepreneurs and small businesses affected by crisis.

Tenant broker Robert Hoyt is proud to be representing the Fund in its Headquarters lease extension so it can continue to serve more North Carolina small businesses in their recovery from the pandemic.

Among the news-worthy items:  free meeting space and WiFi access,  construction on the lower mezzanine, special events and talks of a 1,700 SF restaurant.

The laid-back restaurant specializes in providing exceptional food and service with southern hospitality. The company hails from Wilmington, NC where the first CFSC opened in 2008. There are now three tasty locations in that market and one here in Raleigh. For more on CFSC visit their website: www.capefearseafoodcompany.com.
