Small Business Financial Fitness Series

The Albany Park Chamber is launching the Small Business Financial Fitness Series, presented by Wintrust Bank!

Just like physical fitness, keeping your money healthy requires a consistent routine that you track and strengthen regularly. Grounded in the official FDIC Money Smart for Small Business curriculum, this four-part webinar series provides aspiring founders and established small business owners with simple, practical tools to plan, manage, and protect their finances. Whether you are launching a new startup or growing an existing company, understanding your numbers is key to building a strong, resilient business.

Part 2: Strong Business Credit

Think of your business credit score as your company’s cardiovascular health - it takes consistency to build, but it keeps your business strong and resilient when you need to access capital. This workshop demystifies the credit reporting system and shows you how a distinct business credit profile can unlock new growth opportunities.

Learn how lenders evaluate risk, how to separate personal finances from business operations, and how to leverage a healthy credit report to secure favorable financing terms and supplier credit lines.
