Show Me the Money! Navigating Funding Options for Your Business

July 8 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm

$79

Every business needs fuel to grow, and funding is one of the most critical ingredients. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to scale, this dynamic course will walk you through a wide range of funding sources to help power your business. Explore traditional options like bank loans and SBA loans, while also diving into alternative solutions such as micro-loans, crowdfunding, investors, and grants.

We’ll break down the 5 C’s of bank lending criteria so you understand exactly what lenders look for when evaluating your loan application. You’ll also discover how to leverage owner investment, credit cards, and other creative funding pathways to meet your capital needs. From determining the right fit for your business to crafting a funding strategy that aligns with your goals, this class equips you with the tools to secure the financial support you need to thrive.

Join us and take the next step toward fueling your entrepreneurial journey!

"Joel, I wanted to tell you how much our conversation helped me. Honestly, I was drowning and feeling very much incompetent to handle the work ahead. The things you shared with me changed my outlook. I have heard so many people tell me why it won't work. I know inside myself (selves if you ask my husband) it's going to. It has to. Now I know that if it gets dark again, which I know it will, I have a lifeline and you have no idea what that means as I have been doing this alone. Besides for that, your after work (?) 🧐 was awesome and I am so excited to dig in to them first thing in the morning. Thank you so much again, I look forward to becoming one of the stories of success you can share and helping others find the same thing myself. Have a great evening."
