Capital Readiness Workshop – EDC
The EDC is hosting a free, in-person Capital Readiness workshop on May 5 and 6 to help small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs better understand funding and loan preparedness. Led by Business Impact NW, this hands-on session will cover how to identify funding needs, explore financing options at every stage, and prepare for what lenders look for.
Two identical sessions will be offered: Tuesday, May 5 from 5:30–7:30pm at Friday Harbor House, and Wednesday, May 6 from 10am-12pm at Lopez Island Library, with virtual attendance options available. The workshop will be led by business advisor Gwen Kohl of Business Impact NW, a nonprofit CDFI that has supported entrepreneurs across the Northwest since 1997. Attendees will gain practical guidance on loan readiness, financial projections, and sustainable growth strategies.
The workshop is free, but pre-registration is required at sanjuansedc.org/bizlabs. For more information, contact the EDC at 360.378.2906 or info@sanjuansedc.org.
