Progressive Business Group: Financial Management
If your business growth requires financing (loans), financial management provides the information to know how much your business can afford. Quality financial management gives you not only the documentation needed for a loan application, but also helps you discuss your business circumstances with a lender in terms that improve your ability to qualify for the loan. Leo Martinez of Nebraska Enterprise Fund discussed bookkeeping, projections, financial statements, and financing. These form the foundation for reaching your goals through sound business decisions. Wednesday, September 23, 2020 | 12:00 - 1:00 p.m.
