About this Event
A Business Growth Breakfast Series Event
Join us for the launch of the Business Growth Breakfast Series, a new monthly initiative created by the Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce and Gente Connect, designed to help business owners grow with clarity, confidence, and access to the right resources.
This kickoff event features a live panel discussion with business bankers and the SBA, offering an inside look at how funding decisions are made in today’s economic environment—and how you can better position your business for capital in 2026 and beyond.
Why Attend?
Access to capital is still available in 2026—but the rules have changed.
Banks, lenders, and the SBA are operating under a new playbook. Business owners who understand how it works will have options. Those who don’t may find themselves frustrated, delayed, or denied when they need funding most.
This is not a sales pitch.
It’s a candid, educational conversation designed to help you understand how lenders actually think in 2026.
What You’ll Learn
- What has changed in SBA lending for 2026 (and what hasn’t)
- What lenders are prioritizing right now when approving loans
- Common mistakes that quietly derail loan approvals
- Best funding options for businesses at different stages of growth
- How businesses can better position themselves for capital
- How to prepare for financing before you need it
