Event Details
Financing the purchase or expansion of a business is often as difficult as finding a business to buy. In this session, three leading experts will discuss:
- how to approach a bank about funding,
- the various financing alternatives available from banks,
- the "in's and out's" of SBA-guaranteed loans, and
- how to tap your IRA or 401(k)account to obtain money for your business.
Our experts have years of experience in providing financing and commercial loans to small and medium-sized businesses:
- Walt Garside of American Chartered Bank, an expert in adapting bank financing to the needs of privately-held businesses.
- Mary Los of Fifth Third Bank, who has years of experience arranging SBA loans.
- Marcus May of Johnson Westra Broecker Whittacker & Newitt works with BeneTrends, which has led the way in helping entrepreneurs use money from their IRA and 401(k)accounts.
