FinanceForward

FinanceForward is a 25-class training program designed to help established small business owners strengthen their finances and secure funding. Over the course of four phases – Analyze, Formulate, Implement, and Connect – you’ll learn how to organize your financials, create projections, and build lender-ready packages. The program blends virtual learning with select in-person sessions, including exclusive lender panels where you’ll make direct connections with banks, SBA representatives, and other capital providers. Along the way, you’ll gain clarity on pricing, cash flow, credit, and tax planning while building practical skills in bookkeeping and QuickBooks. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with polished financials, a complete loan application package, and the confidence to pursue grants, loans, and other funding opportunities.
