SUMMARY:Loan Ready: A Four-Session Series for Women Business Owners
DESCRIPTION:Four sessions. One expert. One-on-one time. A clear path to financing.\n\n\nDates & Time Wednesdays\, July 1\, 8\, 15 & 22 5:00 – 7:00 PM Via Zoom \nCost: $25 \n \nAre you loan ready? If you have been thinking about financing for your business but are not sure where to start\, this series is for you. Over four Wednesday evenings in July\, WISE is bringing in national small business finance expert Maria Randall to walk you through everything you need to know\, from understanding your loan readiness to sitting across the table from a lender with confidence. \n \nWho should attend: Women business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs in Onondaga\, Oneida\, Madison\, Cayuga\, Cortland\, Jefferson\, and Oswego counties who are considering financing in the next 6 to 18 months.\n \nWhat Is Included\nRegistration includes all four sessions plus a free 30-minute one-on-one virtual consultation with Maria Randall. Your individual consultation is your chance to bring your specific questions\, your numbers\, and your situation — and get honest\, expert guidance before you approach a lender. \n \nWhat You Will Learn\nSession 1 — Is Your Business Loan Ready? An honest assessment of where you stand. We cover what lenders look for\, how to read your own financials\, and what needs to be in place before walking into a bank. \nSession 2 — Understanding Your Options Not all capital is the same. We walk through SBA loans\, conventional bank loans\, CDFIs\, microloans\, and lines of credit\, what each is best for\, what they cost\, and who they are right for at different stages of business. \nSession 3 — Building Your Loan Package The practical session. Financial statements\, business plan\, projections\, personal credit\, collateral\, and how to put together a package that makes a strong first impression. \nSession 4 — Lender Panel: Straight Talk A panel of local lenders answering your questions directly. WISE recruits and coordinates the panelists. You ask the questions. \n \nLoan Ready is offered through WISE Women’s Business Center\, a designated SBA Women’s Business Center and NYS Entrepreneurial Assistance Center hosted by Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Management. \n \n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive an email from Eventbrite with a link to access the webinar. Please save this email and be sure to check your SPAM folder if you don’t see it in your email inbox.  \n \nReasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities will be made if requested at least two weeks in advance.
