Event description

Ever felt unsure knowing when, how or if you should approach your bank for lending? 

Unsure of what that might even look like for your business?

Or perhaps you've thought about it, but put it in the "too hard" basket after hearing a horror story from another business owner. 

Lending can actually make all the difference to your overall financial freedom as a business owner. The art is learning how to think a bit more like the bank, knowing when and how to ask, and how to include that sort of thinking in your business planning. 

Join local business financial experts for a free, informative and 100% relatable session to befuddle business numbers . We're excited to share with you ways a better relationship with your business $$ might set you up for financial freedom, less stress and more joy as a growth oriented business owner.
