A new report released by the University of Arkansas examines a broad cross-section of the funding options available to startups and small businesses in Arkansas.
A team of collaborators across the Sam M. Walton College of Business and the Division of Economic Development at the UA produced the Arkansas Capital Scan. According to a news release, it’s modeled after a similar report published each year by the University of Oregon, the Oregon Capital Scan.
The 86-page report, intended to be an annual publication, is intended to assist policymakers, investors, and other stakeholders in identifying gaps and opportunities in support of small businesses.
