 My name is Angelo McBride with the City of Columbia Office of Business Opportunity. I'm the business administrator and I'm joined with Brett Whiting and I'm the loan officer for the City of Columbia Office of Business Opportunity and welcome to City Talk. Access to capital symposium is an opportunity for local lenders in the area as well as small business owners, entrepreneurs and those who are thinking about starting a business to do we call matchmaking with our lenders and it's going to be at the convention center. It's about the three-hour event whereby you get to meet with many lenders you can within two hours. If they're looking to expand a business or to start a business, here's opportunities to access those who have capital, those lenders, to see which ones are favorable interest rates, which one actually caters to their particular industry. If they want to get equipment loan, which lender favors those with equipment loan and as you know some banks they don't want to touch startups in there, there are some banks will touch startups. So this is a good opportunity if you're starting a business to know which lenders sort of favor those new startups and if you're getting ready to acquire another business, which one of those lenders are in that market as well. What do you say about that Brad? This symposium will give the opportunity for borrowers to see the different segments. The traditional banks will be there, the non-traditional banks will be there. So it gives them a view of what's out there and what the community has to offer. One is that we're not just talking to the lenders, we're talking to the bar as well. We're gonna kick off this event with one of our consultants, Tony Grant. He's gonna really come and talk to the borrowers. One, how to be prepared when you go talk to a lender, what to say, what not to say, what to bring and then how you put a presentation together with the lenders themselves take more interest in you as opposed to you coming there and not prepared. So the borrowers gonna walk away with two things. One, understanding how to make that approach. Two, looking at all the lenders and seeing which one best fit their business model and then how they can actually build a relationship with those new banks. Small businesses typically have owners or folks that know their business, know their niche, but don't necessarily know how to present themselves for lending or for lending opportunities. They may be the best at what they do, but when you come in front of a banker or bankers looking for specific things, I think that this symposium will show the folks what they really need to bring to the table. Well, the tickets are very small amount. I think it's a lunch meal, $20 and they can go to eventbrite.com to find access to capital symposium and register there. They can also call the office directly at 803-545-3950 or they can email us at OVO at Columbia SC net. And then we can actually register them there ourselves. Type of company that we're looking for. It varies from professional services to contractors, bakers, those who own restaurants, landscaping. The lenders are prepared to address all those needs, all those industries like manufacturing, for example. Even if you do have a new product that you're trying to get to market, there's space for you as well. So we look to see those people if they want to come to this on June the 6th at the Columbia Convention Center. Come on and we'll register you there and get you started with the first matchmaker from 8 to 9 and then we'll follow back by the Director of Office of Business Opportunities Melissa Linder. She'll do the welcome and the SBA who's also a partner in this, they will address the crowds well. And then we'll follow up by having a nice opening keynote speaker and then the matchmaking begins.
