What advice would you offer entrepreneurs when they are ready to present their business plan to a banker?

Answer 1

Go to http://www.score.org/ and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor to review your business plan and discuss the meeting with your banker..

SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small business nationwide. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

SCORE has 389 chapters in locations throughout the United States and its territories, with 10,500 volunteers nationwide. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate time and expertise as business counselors.

Answer 2

Calling SCORE is a great idea. Other than that just be prepared. Know what you want to do, how you want to do it, and so on. Having confidence will come from knowing your business. Good luck! It's very rewarding!!
