Loan and Credit Workshops

Intro | PACE SBA Micro Loan | SBA Financing | SOHO Loan | Workshops


A good place to learn about how to qualify for a business loan and to determine your eligibility and readiness is to attend one of our workshops that focus on Access to Capital.  Every month we offer a seminar that sheds light on how to qualify for a business loan and how lenders make lending decisions based on credit analysis.  This seminar emphasizes the importance of sound financial management as the primary means to demonstrate your creditworthiness.

Growth Seminar: How to Grow Your Business in Difficult Times

Most businesses started small...Good financial management is the foundation for growth.

This seminar is for start-up or existing business owners that want to learn how to qualify for business credit by using simple financial management tools.  Attend this seminar to learn how to obtain business credit for any business, keep business accounting simple, estimate business tax liabilities, and keep your business viable and growing despite current economic conditions.  Attending this seminar will give you access to free online and ongoing financial analysis of your business.

Another way the PACE can help you assess your lending options is to attend one of our “Loan Assessment Days”.  During our Loan Assessment Days PACE BDC provides free loan consultations to the community to assess the lending potential of participants and to explain the difference between the various loan programs that exist.  Banking partners will also be on site to discuss their particular financing programs to participants. So whether you have a new business or looking are looking to expand an existing one, attend one of our Loan Assessment Days to learn what you need to do to qualify.

Dates: March 12, June 11 (To set up an appointment please call 213-353-9400).     


However, you don’t have to wait until one of our Loan Days to find out if your business qualifies for an SBA loan from a bank or a micro-loan from an alternative lending institution.  You can also click here to download our pre-loan assessment tool and take a few moments to fill it out and send it in to us.  Within 48 hours one of our qualified loan officers will get back to you to discuss your loan options.
