Every business needs fuel to grow—and funding is often the key. Show Me the Money! helps entrepreneurs understand their funding options and choose the right path for their business.

Whether you’re just getting started or preparing to scale, this class walks through a wide range of funding sources. You’ll explore traditional options like bank loans and SBA loans, as well as alternative approaches such as micro-loans, crowdfunding, investors, and grants. The goal is to help you see what’s available and what makes sense for your situation.

The session also breaks down the 5 C’s of bank lending, so you can better understand what lenders look for when reviewing a loan application. You’ll learn how owner investment, credit cards, and other creative funding strategies can play a role in meeting your capital needs.

By the end of the class, you’ll have a clearer picture of which funding options may be a good fit for your business and how to start building a funding strategy that supports your goals and long-term growth.
