The recession may be over for manufacturers, but banks continue to keep a tight grip on money, making growth and expansion a challenge for small businesses. Today, business leaders have discovered that raising capital involves a three-pronged approach that includes developing a good relationship with your banker, seeking additional sources of funding, and making sure that you can develop accurate forecasts that tell a compelling story to your lenders.
Phil Florek has developed a strong track record of helping businesses raise the capital they need - first as a senior business executive for more than 40 years, a business owner, and now, as a Senior Business Consultant for the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Small Business Development Center Network. Florek will share how he has helped manufacturers successfully raise the capital they need to grow.
