SUMMARY:Preparing to Meet Your Lender
DESCRIPTION:Are you a small business owner looking for financing?  \nJoin us for a free\, interactive webinar on January 21\, 2026\, from 9:00–10:00 a.m. ET featuring members of the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI). SSBCI is a free program that supports Pennsylvania businesses with business planning\, accounting\, and legal assistance to help them prepare to apply for a loan. \n \nThis session includes an open discussion between Will Hooten\, Director of SSBCI\, and Shane Foster\, Western Assistant Director of SSBCI\, focused on helping borrowers navigate early conversations with lenders. Will and Shane will walk through what borrowers should be prepared to ask\, how the lending process typically unfolds\, and what to bring to a lender during your first outreach\, initial meeting\, and follow-up meetings. They will also highlight common communication pitfalls and key things to watch for when working with a lender. \n \nThe webinar will conclude with audience Q&A\, so bring your questions and get real-time guidance. \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 \n
