Low-income entrepreneurs will have more access to training and capital to establish and expand their businesses as a result of a federal grant to Washington Ventures, Rep. Rick Larsen, WA-02, announced today.

Washington Ventures, a Seattle-based nonprofit that assists entrepreneurs who have limited resources, is receiving $123,000 through the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Program for Investment in Microentrepreneurs (PRIME). The organization has helped small businesses throughout the Puget Sound region.

"Small businesses are the engines of our economy. Helping entrepreneurs start and expand their businesses is good for families and good for our communities. I am pleased this federal investment will help more innovative small businesses get assistance to grow and strengthen our economy," Larsen said.
