Raising Capital – Funding Basics and Lender Insights

Tuesday, August 14, 2018 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

The SBDC and SBA are sponsoring this West Valley event to bring knowledge, resources and expertise to small businesses.

Often times, knowing the options for developing a funding strategy and then understanding and sorting through the lending options available can be overwhelming for a small business owner. 

This informative and interactive program opens with an education portion that covers basic information about commercial loans, types, sources and how to prepare for lending requests.   A panel of lenders will provide insight and information related to the types of business they service, loans offered, and suggestions for how to prepare for a meeting with a lender.  The session concludes with open time to meet and greet each panelist and gather information about their products and services.

Note:  This session is focused on capital sources from lenders and does not cover angel investors.
