Description:
If you're looking for funding to grow your business, this no-cost event is a must. You'll meet directly with multiple lenders in a series of short, one-on-one sessions—designed to help you quickly explore your options, make connections, and get clear answers about what it takes to secure the money your business needs—all in one focused, no-pressure morning.
This year, in addition to our speed-lending rounds, our new “Capital Ready” seminar reveals exactly what lenders are looking for—so you walk away with actionable insights to position your business for approval. But seating is limited, so book now and come early.
