SUMMARY:Access to Capital for Small Businesses — Helping Small Business Navigate Funding with Confidence
DESCRIPTION:Access to capital is one of the most crucial and often misunderstood aspects of running or growing a small business. Many Tennessee entrepreneurs walk in with strong ideas and real determination\, but they often feel lost when it comes to funding: Which lenders should they approach? What does the SBA actually guarantee? How much cash flow do they need? What documents are required? This workshop is designed to help TSBDC clients and prospective clients cut through the confusion and understand how the capital process truly works. \nSpeaker(s): Stephen W. Williams\, MBA\, Director of TSBDC at Roane State Community College
