STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – If you operate a business or professional practice on Staten Island, you’ve earned your place an upcoming free seminar and buffet dinner in the Vanderbilt at South Beach.

Attorney Michael Menicucci

The event, sponsored by the law firm of Menicucci, Villa and Associates (MVA), will explore and clarify a variety of Small Business Administration (SBA) loan opportunities and programs that provide access to capital.

Attorney and legal scholar Michael Menicucci will be joined in his presentation by Philip A. Guarnieri, president and CEO of Empire State Bank, a leading provider of SBA loans on Staten Island.

The free event will take place on Monday (Nov. 19), at 6 p.m., in the Vanderbilt at South Beach, 300 Father Capodanno Blvd.

“Conventional small-business lending has significantly weakened with today’s economic shifts,” said Menicucci, founder and managing partner of Meiers Corners-based Menicucci, Villa & Associates. “More than ever, it is imperative for small-business owners to develop relationships with professionals who can offer alternatives and provide solutions for their business needs.
