Business Hours — Open Advisory Session with Groundswell Capital- HYBRID Do you have business questions but no one to ask? Business Hours is your monthly open advisory session — free, practical, and built for business owners at every stage. Every session runs the same way. We open with a 10–15 minute deep dive on a focused topic, then spend 45 minutes answering whatever is on your mind. No question is too basic. No topic is off limits. Topics we cover across sessions: Financial Statements 101 · Bookkeeping Fundamentals · Cash Flow Management · Profit Margin Improvement · Cost Reduction · Pricing Strategy · Government Contracting Entry · Grants and Grant Writing · Business Acquisitions · Operational Efficiency · Capital Access and Lending Readiness This month's featured topic: Know Your Funding Options Most businesses get declined for capital not because they are unqualified, but because their financials are not packaged the way a lender needs to see them. We will walk through what lenders actually look at, what gets applications stalled, and how to fix it before you apply. Special guest: Groundswell Capital Arizona's first green bank joins us to answer your funding questions directly. Groundswell provides flexible loans for business growth, energy upgrades, solar, HVAC, clean infrastructure, and more — including no-collateral options for businesses that do not qualify at a traditional bank. If you are a fit, you will leave with a direct introduction and a clear next step. Whether you are a brand new business trying to understand the basics, an established business looking to grow, or an owner who has been told no and does not know where to turn — this session is for you. Bring your questions. No slides, no pitch. Just answers. 🔗 Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87206868220?pwd=dRzczjVl7hqkEWgdGiUsp5XVulxhL3.1 Meeting ID: 872 0686 8220 Passcode: 394323 📱 One tap mobile +1 346 248 7799,,87206868220#,,,,*394323# (Houston) +1 669 444 9171,,87206868220#,,,,*394323# (US)
