Access to capital is one of the biggest questions many small business owners face, but the lending process can feel confusing or intimidating. This panel will help demystify small business lending by giving entrepreneurs a clearer understanding of financing options and what lenders evaluate when reviewing applications.

Featuring two banks and a lending broker, this session will focus on the lending landscape, loan readiness, common funding options, application requirements, and the factors that can impact approval. Panelists can discuss what businesses should prepare before applying, common mistakes to avoid, and how to determine which type of financing may be the right fit.

• Primary focus: Helping business owners understand how to access outside capital and what lenders need to see before approving a loan.
