TODAY AT 1PM EST: WEBINAR – INTRODUCTION TO ECONOMICS – PART 4: FINDING RESOURCES IN UNCERTAIN TIMES
During the last year, businesses across the US have been challenged with finding resources, such as lines of credit and grants to stay open. In this webinar, we will examine how to use economics to evaluate financing, cash management, and debt management to help businesses thrive in the current economy.
You will learn what information is most pertinent to provide during applications and negotiations to continue to operate as a successful business. You will also learn how to manage these processes to navigate these uncertain times.
