Excellent Session! Fri, Sep 23, 2022
I really enjoyed this session. It was great to hear from an actual banker who approves business loans on what the requirements are for a business plan. I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that it was an intimate setting and how the speaker was able to give examples on how to apply the information given for each attendees unique situation.
