Description
Not all money is created equal and financing a new venture can be especially tricky. From bootstrapping to borrowing and everything in between, it can be a daunting task to navigate the new venture lending landscape. After all, why are different lenders looking for different things? Who should I borrow money from (or not)? What are the 3 F’s? Shouldn’t people just want to give me money to start my business? We get it… there are a lot of questions and this is new territory for most new start-ups. Join us for a quick overview of what it takes to finance a new venture and maybe even debunk a few myths along the way.
Discussion topics:
-Knowing the difference between traditional and non-traditional lenders
-The 5 C’s of Credit – it matters!
-Alternative forms of capital – what’s even out there?
-Grants… grants… grants!
