Capital is critical to small businesses that are scaling up for growth and working to sustain their success. But asking for money can be intimidating – especially if you don’t know how a lender thinks.

How can you build your confidence before talking to lenders? By knowing what your numbers tell you about your business and what lenders expect to see, so you’re prepared before you ask.

In this program, you will expand your understanding of your business financials, gain insights into how lending decisions are made, identify specific issues your business may face and develop an action plan to be lender-ready to fund your growth.

After completing this program, you will:

• Know why your numbers are an essential part of your loan application
• Know how lenders think and what story your numbers tell them
• Know what financial projections can tell you about your funding options
• Know next steps to take in order to close the gap and improve your chances of getting approved for a loan
