About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

This class is designed to understand how the "Five C's of Credit," can help business owners understand the performance and risk inherent in their businesses. This same risk assessment is done by potential lenders when they "underwrite" loans to ensure both the business and the lender benefit from the loan.

*Reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities will be made if requested at least two weeks in advance. Please contact the Tampa Bay Women's Business Centre for more information: tbwbc@thecentre.org.
