Let's Talk About Money: A Small Business Financial Summit
Tuesday, October 20, 2026 (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
Tuesday, October 20, 2026 | Doors open at noon
Are you really in control of your money?
Most small business owners aren't — not because they're bad at business, but because nobody ever showed them the specifics. How do you word an invoice so it gets paid in 15 days instead of 60? What do you actually say when you raise your prices? What does a lender look at before deciding you're worth the risk?
This summit answers those questions. No theory, no general advice. One afternoon of rapid-fire, practical solutions from people who do this for a living.
Register NowWhat you'll walk away with
01
Invoice language and follow-up scripts that get you paid faster
02
A word-for-word script for raising prices without losing customers
03
A loan-readiness checklist: what lenders want to see, and what quietly disqualifies you
04
Tools to manage cash flow, protect your margins, and stop guessing at your numbers
Come early and meet the people who can help
Doors open at noon. Before the program begins, spend an hour at Platt Court meeting lenders, accountants, and financial partners face to face — the kind of conversations that usually take three emails and a week to arrange.
Whether you run a storefront, a services firm, or a one-person operation, you'll leave with strategies you can put to work the next morning.
