LA VBOC:: Soldier Proof: Loan Prep Made Simple

Event description

Financial Strategies for Veteran Entrepreneurs – Straight Talk, Real Solutions

Ready to grow? This session breaks down exactly what lenders want to see — in plain language, with real examples.

Whether you’re looking for working capital, equipment, or expansion funding, getting “loan ready” is about more than filling out an application. It’s about presenting a business that looks squared away on paper and in practice.

In every branch, there’s a phrase:

“Make it soldier-proof / Marine-proof / sailor-proof.”

Translation? Make it so clear and squared away that nobody can screw it up.

That’s exactly what this session does for loan readiness.

You already know how to gear up for a mission. Now we’re applying that same mindset to funding your business.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• What “loan ready” really means from a lender’s point of view
• By-the-numbers, step-by-step direction on what you need to prepare
• The financial statements and KPIs banks actually care about
• How to align your business plan, projections, and debt with lender expectations
• Gearing up: from application to approval — what happens at each stage
• Ending with a no-judgment, no-filter Ask Me Anything about getting loan ready

Why this session matters:

• Because hope is not a funding strategy.
• Because you don’t want to find out what’s missing after you hit submit.
• Because lenders respect preparation, discipline, and clarity — qualities you already have.

Double time, bring your questions, and let’s make your loan prep soldier proof — clear, confident, and ready for go time.
