SBAC's Lender's League Forum

On behalf of the Small Business Assistance Corporation (SBAC) and in collaboration with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, we are delighted to invite you and your banking colleagues to the upcoming Lender’s League Forum.

The Forum, hosted by SBAC, aims to facilitate knowledge sharing and foster relevant discussions among small business financing experts. As we navigate a period of rising interest rates, tightening credit boxes, and increasing bank regulations, it becomes crucial to maintain and create access to affordable business capital. This event provides a platform to address these challenges and explore strategies to support small businesses in our region.

Attending this event in person is the ideal way to participate. However, if you are unable to attend in person, you can still engage in discussion by joining virtually. Please specify your means of attendance during registration.
