SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Three Things You Need to Know Before You Go to the Bank
DESCRIPTION:In this Session\, Elli Papadopolous\, Founder and CEO of Skopos Collective\, will discuss the use of funds\, EBITA and the fine art of documentation and loan packaging all critical to setting yourself up right on your lending journey! \nAbout Elli Papadopoulos:\nElli brings over 25 years of experience working with small businesses. In 2015\, she founded Skopos Collective after spending seven years as an SBA loan underwriter and learning that too many small business owners are in the dark about their own finances. Now she works with business owners to get their financial house in order\, maximize profitability (without sacrificing their business values)\, strategize their growth\, and connect them to good funding. \nAbout Skopos:\nSkopos offers independent designers\, modern manufacturers\, and mission-driven businesses the financial clarity needed to grow. With a human approach to numbers\, our goal is to uplift the small businesses that bring character to our communities by giving business owners better control of their finances\, empower them with easy-to-use systems\, and connect them to capital. \nRSVP here for 4/15 and stay tuned for details on the following episodes – we hope to see you at one\, if not all of our sessions!
