This class answers that question and helps you build one to tell your story to your businesses loan officer.\n\n\nIf you are looking for a business loan the two most common requests from lenders are: Do you have a business plan? and Do you have cash flow projections? Our other classes help with the business plan and this one is specifically created to help you build a Cash Flow Projection. \nA Cash Flow projection is a story of your business financials. It is essentially a budget and this budget is used by lenders to understand how money flows into your business\, is distributed to pay your expenses\, and explains how you are estimating those sales and expenses. Whether you are already in business or you are just working on starting your business\, this workshops will be a great way to put your ducks in a row and be able to provide a clear message to the lender. Bring you laptop with excel if you have one or we will provide you with paper versions for you to begin the process. (some laptops will be available for class use). \nDue to the interactive nature of this class seats are limited so register today! \nOne-on-One business counseling is available after completion of this class. \nRegistration is required. \n*We encourage all low-income applicants to contact us regarding discounted class rates. ross@snapwa.org \nWant to explore and learn more about your business plan?
