Strategic Business Financing for Profitable Growth

Join Community Futures Sunshine Coast, in partnership with The Intentional Business, for an intensive, in-person financial literacy workshop facilitated by Jordan Tait. This three-hour working session is curated for established business owners who want clarity on financing for growth and a practical understanding of what lenders actually look for when evaluating loan applications.

Ideal for business owners actively exploring financing or preparing for growth. Whether you’re planning for expansion, equipment upgrades, hiring, or systems improvements, this session will help you determine if a loan makes sense, how to prepare a strong application, and how to evaluate the return on investment.

What You Will Learn:

• How lenders actually assess risk, readiness, and decision criteria
• Financial signals that strengthen or weaken your chances of approval
• How to structure growth capital responsibly
• Where financing typically produces the greatest return
• Common myths versus real-world lending expectations

Jordan will guide participants through differentiating good debt from bad debt, comparing debt and equity options, and using a simple return on investment (ROI) calculation to weigh funding decisions.

Participants Will Take Home Two Practical Tools:

• A business readiness assessment to evaluate operational and financial preparedness
• A ROI calculator for future growth decisions

Space is limited to maintain an interactive setting with room for questions, discussion, and applied learning.
