Kemah-area business owners will have the opportunity to meet directly with lenders and small-business partners at a lender matchmaking event in March.
The details
Registration for the event will be at 8:30 a.m., with matchmaking sessions scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon March 17 at the Kemah Community Center, located at 800 Harris Ave., Kemah, according to a Feb. 24 news release from the city.
The event is organized by the University of Houston Texas Gulf Coast Small Business Development Center Network, or SBDC, and the city’s Kemah Business Alliance, according to the release.
Business owners will have 15 minutes to present their financing needs to multiple lenders and may also meet representatives from the U.S. Small Business Administration’s district office and connect with resource partners who provide no-cost, one-on-one business advising.
One more thing
Advance registration is required. Businesses may register online at the SBDC’s website.
Also of note
Beginning in 2019, businesses in Kemah along Hwy. 146 faced a loss of revenue as the frontage roads were blocked off during the construction, as previously reported by Community Impact.
Both Kemah and Seabrook have invested in growing and retaining businesses in their cities. For example, in 2025, both cities offered Tookie’s Hamburgers, which moved to Kemah in 2018, a financial incentive to either stay or relocate.
