It takes money to make money” is a familiar phrase—but understanding where that money should come from is the real challenge. Many aspiring entrepreneurs assume they need a loan or a grant to start a business, while established small business owners often believe bank financing is the only option for growth. In reality, financing can come from many different sources, including your customers. The key is identifying the type of funding that aligns with your current stage of business development.

In this session, participants will gain clarity around small business financing options and learn how to make informed funding decisions.

Participants will learn:

• The small business funding continuum and how financing needs change as your business grows

• How to justify the need for financing and determine how much is appropriate

• Non-traditional sources of capital available to small business owners

• How to build and manage effective relationships with banks and funding partners

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of funding options, increased confidence in financial decision-making, and practical insights to pursue the right type of capital at the right time.
