Did you know if your business is aligned with an Entrepreneurial Center your success rate jumps to over 80%. At The Dublin Entrepreneurial Center, where Matt, Mike & Matthew are all tenants the success rate is over 90%.

Point of the story, if you are a new business owner, don't sit in your office and put yourself in a vacuum. Become a tenant at an entrepreneurial center, get around other likeminded people and use their extensive resources to your advantage.

When considering leaving a company to start you own business, transparency and leaving on good terms is extremely important. A big reason for this is that your current employer could be potential funding source for your business down the line - in Matt's case his willingness to participate in a smooth transition allowed him to take his existing clients with him.

Hub Zone, 8a, 7a...there are lots of different SBA loan types and all have different requirements depending on your needs.

If you're a Native American, Veteran, or a Woman there are even special programs and grants to help you go even further on your entrepreneurial journey.

“The SBA loan guarantee encourages lenders to say ‘yes’ to small business owners who might otherwise be turned down under the banks’ own underwriting criteria,” said SBA New York District Director, Beth Goldberg.

It’s a very positive sign that approval rates continue to climb above the 50% benchmark.

We may never see capital flow more freely to small business owners than we do today. Approval rates for small business loan applications rose to another post-recession record (27.8%) at big banks.

A great point Matt made in this weeks episode was "If you are looking to scale and grow your business, you need a relationship with a banker."

While this is true, if you haven't actually met your local banker yet, there's no need to scramble. The SBA actually offers a lender match program on their website that helps connect you to the over 800 lenders in their network.

There is also an excellent FAQ section worth checking out too. It outlines, in detail, all the documents you will need throughout the process and even provides the answers to questions like, what should you ask your lender.

Take a look here: https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans/lender-match

Lender Match is a free online referral tool that connects small businesses with participating SBA-approved lenders.
