Personal credit plays an important role in your business. Small or start-up businesses have not had the chance to establish business credit, so their access to capital is tied directly to the credit of the owners. In this workshop the following topics will be covered:
What are credit scores
Credit myths
How are credit scores calculated
Changing your credit score
What types of financing are available
What lenders look for
Sample credit reports will be distributed and reviewed to give you a hands-on experience of interpreting a credit report.
**Refreshments and continental breakfast served**
