In this webinar you'll learn how to help your small business clients successfully navigate the complicated world of small business financing.
Small business owners often feel overwhelmed when looking for financing, and spend over 33 hours, on average, researching funding options. Funding is critical though; according to the SBA, insufficient capital is the second most common reason for small business failure.

So, be prepared!
Understand the pros and cons as well as lender requirements for the main types of financing.
Learn about financing options for start-ups, business owners with poor personal credit, and other challenging situations.
Help your clients prepare for financing and avoid expensive pitfalls.
Get free tools you can use to help your clients evaluate costs and make better borrowing decisions.

"I truly enjoyed the exposure and this opportunity to learn some facts facing small business owners and how to better assist them in meeting their needs. As a currently unemployed CPA in a market flooded with unplaced accountants, this was helpful to me personally as I have been working towards starting a small business, but must work for others while doing so. You gave me inspiration, and imparted useful knowledge. Thank you."Debbie, WA
