Catalyst 2.0 Henrico Business Academy — From Startup to Lender-Ready: Understand Financial Documents & Business Credit

Wondering if your business would pass a lender's scrutiny? This workshop explores what financial institutions actually look for when deciding whether to fund your company. You'll dive into the distinction between personal and business credit, discover how lenders assess your cash flow and ability to repay debt, and learn which documents strengthen a funding application. The session also equips you with practical ways to measure where your business stands right now and spot any weak areas before you formally apply for capital. Designed for entrepreneurs and business owners, this two-hour program is presented by the Henrico Economic Development Authority. Registration is required to attend, and the session will be held online—you'll receive a link via email after signing up. This is part of a larger series of business-focused programs, so if you find it helpful, there may be related offerings worth exploring as well.
