Time is running out for entrepreneurs and small business owners to secure their spot at an interactive and comprehensive business funding workshop hosted by Volusia Business Resources. The Funding Readiness Workshop will take place from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 18, at the Brannon Center, 105 S. Riverside Drive, New Smyrna Beach.

Participants can engage with lenders, financial professionals, and small business consultants who will offer practical advice on navigating the complex lending process. Attendees will learn what lenders and investors expect before applying for funds, how to organize their financials, and identify funding options that best suit their business needs.

This free workshop, which includes lunch, is designed to transform entrepreneurs from funding seekers to funding recipients.
