The U.S. Small Business Administration will launch a new series of Community Express Days, April 7-11, to help qualified startup small business and existing business owners deal with cash-flow needs.

SBA specialists will be on Maui, Kaua'i and O'ahu and in Kailua, Kona, to provide consultations and technical assistance to prospective borrowers.
