SUMMARY:Access to Capital & Cash Flow - Feb 2026
DESCRIPTION:Learn practical steps to secure microloans and decide between credit union or bank financing.\n\n\nJoin us for this important workshop on cash flow and access to capital. \nAccess to capital empowers new business owners by teaching practical steps to secure microloans. Learn how to qualify\, apply\, and make informed decisions between credit union and bank financing options. \nAccess to capital is one of the most common barriers to launching and scaling a business. Early-stage companies often struggle with cash flow\, equipment purchases\, inventory\, marketing\, and startup expenses\, and microloans are a realistic first source of funding when traditional lending may be out of reach. \nUnderstanding how to qualify and apply improves your readiness in the eyes of lenders. The ability to compare credit union versus bank financing is also strategically valuable. These institutions can differ on underwriting criteria\, interest rates\, fees\, collateral requirements\, and relationship-based lending. Knowing the distinctions can help you choose the option that best fits your business model\, growth plans\, and risk tolerance rather than accepting the first offer available. \nPractical knowledge about microloans and financing options can directly impact your ability to start\, stabilize\, and grow a new venture!
