In this episode… Most small-to medium-sized business owners need capital to either kickstart their ventures, expand their companies, or purchase another operation. Yet with so many capital options available, they struggle with the process. What documentation do you need to obtain capital? With a knack for formulating out-of-the-box ideas, seasoned business banker Marc Cove recommends building a network of professionals, like attorneys, bankers, and accountants, who can be honest with you about your situation and help you through the process.
