Every business needs a moment to pause, reflect, and realign and this is your space to do just that. Whether you’re just getting started or already running your business, this session is a chance to check in on your progress, pinpoint areas that need support, and explore if it’s the right time to bring in cash, capital, or financial resources.
Gwendolyn Wright, Renaissance Consultant, will walk you through key business knowledge topics such as types of financial statements, costs of goods sold, profit margins, average customer value and talk about what it means to be “Loan-ready.” Not everyone needs money right now, but knowing when and how to access capital could be the difference between staying stuck or growing strong.
