“There is a lot of misinformation and myths about loans and financing…PACE helps tell the REAL story, gives you accurate information about your financing options, and works with you as an individual to figure out what kind of financing YOU can get.” –Chrysta Wilson, Kiss My Bundt

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 Access to Capital Workshops.  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.
