When applying for a business loan, it is essential to have one's "financial management" house in order. Your readiness to acquire surety bonds may be just as critical if you work in the construction industry. Each pursuit requires financial preparation on the part of the business owner to have a successful outcome.

Hosted by the Maryland Black Chamber of Commerce (MBCC), this three-part workshop series brings together subject matter experts, including David Hincapie of the SBA's Washington Metropolitan Area District Office, to discuss the importance of
