Buffalo small business loan $ up for grabs

As National Small Business Week kicks off this week,  KeyBank is giving $100,000 to two groups that help businesses get off the ground in Buffalo.

The Excelsior Growth Fund and the Westminster Economic Development Initiative will use that money to provide streamlined access to small business loans and advice to entrepreneurs trying to get their business ideas off the ground.

For those who qualify there are loans from $500 to $500,000 for minority and women-owned business enterprises in the Queen City.
