Join us for a discussion-based webinar where we move beyond theory and walk through a realistic loan scenario — through the eyes of two SBA lenders.

In this live, podcast-style session, we'll break down a loan scenario and walk through exactly how a lender evaluates the request. You'll hear what catches a lender's eye first, which financial details carry the most weight, and the red flags that borrowers routinely underestimate.

Rather than a formal presentation or sales pitch, this is built as an open, candid conversation: walking through the request, breaking down what stands out, and showing how a lender thinks long before an application ever reaches underwriting.
