How to Secure a Business Loan

Are you a business owner looking to obtain financing to grow your operation?  Don’t know who to approach, how to prepare, what lenders are looking for or how your proposal will be evaluated? Then plan to attend this dynamic, insightful workshop where you will learn how to think like a lender and improve your chances for success! Through lively discussion and case studies, our expert presenters will help to demystify the lending process.  Topics will include the role of the business plan in financing requests; the steps in the application process; how loan applications are evaluated by lenders; and what you can do today to move toward your goal of obtaining a business loan.  The session will conclude with a Q&A period, so bring your questions and concerns.
