SUMMARY:IN PERSON | Innovation Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:Alignment in Small Businesses \n \nJoin Dr. Mohsen Shabahang of Empower Tomorrow for our Business Innovation Lunch & Learn\, where big ideas meet small business in the heart of downtown Lewisburg on the 2nd floor of 416 Market St at StartUp Lewisburg! \n \nThe same strategies that are crucial to the success of large organizations can be highly relevant to small businesses and solopreneurs. \n \nIn this Lunch & Learn\, Dr. Mo will explore alignment in small businesses\, focusing on three important areas: strategy\, finances\, and quality. Drawing from a career spanning medicine\, education\, executive leadership\, and coaching\, he brings a perspective shaped by decades of leading\, teaching\, mentoring\, and helping others navigate challenges and pursue growth. \n \nDr. Mo is the founder of Empower Tomorrow\, where his work is grounded in the belief that empowered leaders create empowered teams and that sustainable success grows from cultures of trust\, inclusion\, and respect. His approach to leadership emphasizes empathy\, humility\, clarity of purpose\, and empowering others to grow. \n \nThis session will invite small business owners and solopreneurs to consider how concepts often associated with larger organizations can be relevant to their own businesses and how alignment across key areas can support their approach to business.  \n \nBy the end of this session\, attendees will have explored: \n \n– Strategy: The relevance of strategic thinking to small businesses and solopreneurs. \n \n– Finances: The importance of financial considerations as part of business success. \n \n– Quality: The role quality plays in building and sustaining a successful business. \n \nWhether you’re a solopreneur or leading a growing small business\, the session offers an opportunity to consider how strategies used by larger organizations may translate to the realities of running a small business. \n \nThis event will also feature an informal Q&A with lenders from First National Bank. Learn how to build a strong banking relationship\, separate business and personal finances\, prepare for future borrowing\, and avoid common financial pitfalls for small businesses. \n \n

SUMMARY:Would This Loan Get Approved? Inside an SBA Lender’s Decision
DESCRIPTION:Would This Loan Get Approved? Inside an SBA Lender’s Decision \n \nJoin us for a discussion-based webinar where we move beyond theory and walk through a realistic loan scenario — through the eyes of an SBA lender. \n \nIn this live\, podcast-style session\, we’re joined by Michele Vervlied\, EVP & Director of Government Guaranteed Lending at Customers 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\, Michele 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 \nEvery attendee also receives a free Loan Readiness Checklist — a one-page guide covering what to gather and prepare before you approach a lender. \n \nIn this session\, you’ll learn to: \n \n \nSee a loan request the way an SBA lender does\n \nSpot the weaknesses that stall or sink an application\n \nUnderstand which problems are fixable — and which ones aren’t\n \nRecognize how cash flow\, credit\, and owner investment work together\n \nKnow when to bring in the PA SBDC SSBCI Team to help you prepare\n\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 \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.
