Capital Ready: Financing Your Business Without Giving Up Ownership

About this event

Growing your business takes capital—but raising money from investors isn’t the only way to fund growth. In this interactive workshop, small business owners and startup founders will explore how to choose the right financing strategy for their business, weighing the tradeoffs between debt and equity, cost of capital, ownership, and control. We’ll explore different types of business loans, when borrowing makes sense at different stages of growth, and how to assess your readiness to access financing. Participants will learn what lenders look for, practice calculating how much debt their business can responsibly afford, and distinguish healthy financing from costly or risky borrowing. Whether you’re building a Main Street business or a high-growth startup, you’ll leave with practical tools to make informed decisions about financing growth on your own terms.
