Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business – but knowing how to access and use working capital effectively can make the difference between surviving and scaling.
Join us in Fairbanks on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at the KeyBank Building on Cushman for this FREE In-Person workshop on “Accessing and Utilizing Working Capital – Fairbanks,” where we’ll break down the essentials of working capital: what it is, why it matters, and how to secure it. KeyBank will also be providing a free pizza lunch to all attendees!
Participants will explore a range of funding options, including traditional loans, lines of credit, grants, and alternative financing solutions. Beyond accessing capital, this session will focus on how to strategically deploy those funds to support operations, manage seasonality, invest in growth, and avoid common financial pitfalls.
Whether you’re a startup looking for your first infusion of cash or an established business aiming to optimize cash flow, this workshop will provide practical tools, real-world examples, and actionable strategies to help you make confident financial decisions.
