About this Event
Your bank should be more than a place your money sits.
This workshop covers what a real banking relationship looks like for a small business: the accounts and tools you should have, how to get credit-ready before you need credit, what bankers look at when they review a business, and the questions you should be asking your banker that most owners never ask.
Jamar “Jay” Jones, Branch Manager and Vice President at Regions Bank, has worked alongside B.I.D. Academy participants throughout the fall cohort and brings a direct, practical view of what moves an application from no to yes.
