Finding the right source of funding for a food and beverage business is no cake walk. Whether your small business is a startup or an established company looking to expand, securing a traditional bank loan may not be the answer. Often, the food and beverage industry is seen as risky, which only makes it more difficult for a business owner to succeed. Here small business lenders New York Business Development Corporation (NYBDC) and Excelsior Growth Fund (EGF) have teamed up with PieShell, a crowdfunding platform for the food business, to provide a handy way to better understand the borrowing options for your food and beverage business.
