NuMarket Crowdfunding for Food & Bev Businesses

We’ve been selected to participate in a small business crowdfunding program with Main Street America and NuMarket! Rather than taking out a loan, businesses can raise funds directly from community members over a 30-day campaign. In return, these new and existing customers receive credits to use at that business over months and years. It's a funding mechanism that builds brand loyalty and keeps capital circulating within the local economy.
