SUMMARY:Before You Meet Your Lender: What Every Business Owner Should Know
DESCRIPTION:Thinking about applying for a business loan? Don’t walk into your lender meeting unprepared.\n \nJoin us for a free\, interactive webinar on Tuesday\, November 10\, 2026\, at 12:00 p.m. ET\, featuring members of Pennsylvania’s State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI). \n \nWhether you’re looking to start a business\, expand your operations\, or purchase an existing business\, approaching a lender can feel overwhelming. What documents should you bring? What questions should you ask? How do you know if a lender is the right fit for your financing needs? \n \nThe right preparation can make all the difference. \n \nJoin Will Hooten\, Director of SSBCI\, and Shane Foster\, Western Assistant Director of SSBCI\, for a practical\, candid conversation about what business owners should know before sitting down with a lender. \n \nDuring this session\, you’ll learn: \n \n \n\nWhat to bring: The financial documents and information lenders typically expect and how to prepare for that first conversation. \n\n \n\nWhat to ask: Important questions about loan options\, requirements\, timelines\, and costs that every borrower should understand. \n\n \n\nWhat lenders look for: Key factors that influence lending decisions and how to position your financing request. \n\n \n\nWhat to watch out for: Common mistakes\, potential red flags\, and communication pitfalls that can slow down or derail the process. \n\n \n\nHow to find the right lender: Why not every lender is the right fit for every business and what to do if your financing request is declined. \n\n\n \nOur goal is simple: Help you walk into your next lender meeting feeling prepared\, asking the right questions\, and knowing what to expect. \n \nThis won’t be a technical lecture. It’s an open\, straightforward conversation built around real-world lending experiences and practical advice you can put to use. \n \nWe’ll wrap up with a live Q&A\, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and hear directly from professionals who work with small business financing every day. \n \n\n\n\n \nThis project is being supported\, in whole or in part\, by federal award number SSBCI-21031-0044 awarded to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. \n\n \n

SUMMARY:Would This Loan Get Approved? The SBA Lender Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion-based webinar where we move beyond theory and walk through a realistic loan scenario — through the eyes of two SBA lenders. \n \nIn this live\, podcast-style session\, we’re joined by Michele Vervlied\, EVP & Director of Government Guaranteed Lending at Customers Bank\, and Steve Salomon\, Vice President\, Business Banking at M&T Bank to break down a loan scenario and walk through exactly how a lender evaluates the request. You’ll hear what catches a lender’s eye first\, which financial details carry the most weight\, and the red flags that borrowers routinely underestimate. \n \nAs we work through the loan scenario\, the lenders will explain how credit\, cash flow\, owner investment\, collateral\, and management experience all fit together — what makes a lender comfortable\, what raises questions\, and where borrowers most often run into trouble when trying to secure capital. \n \nRather than a formal presentation or sales pitch\, this is built as an open\, candid conversation: walking through the request\, breaking down what stands out\, and showing how a lender thinks long before an application ever reaches underwriting. \n \nIn this session\, you’ll learn to: \n \n– See a loan request the way an SBA lender does– Spot the weaknesses that stall or sink an application– Understand which problems are fixable — and which ones aren’t– Recognize how cash flow\, credit\, and owner investment work together– Know when to bring in the SBDC Team to help you prepare \n \nIt’s ideal for entrepreneurs starting\, buying\, or expanding a business — and for owners who want a practical\, real-world look at their financing options before approaching a lender. \n \nSpeakers: Steve Salomon\, M&T Bank; Michele Vervlied\, Customer’s Bank
