Webinar: Get Ready for Yes: Mastering the Loan Process

Last Tuesday, May 4, the event “Get Ready for Yes: Mastering the Loan Process” was held, organized by the Colombian American Chamber of Commerce Miami. This session, designed for the business community, took place virtually via Zoom with the objective of sharing strategies on how to prepare for and increase the likelihood of financial approval.
During the first part of the session, Ray Juncosa, consultant at Florida SBDC at FIU, explained the characteristics financial institutions evaluate when assessing a business, focusing on the 5 C’s of Credit model: Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, and Conditions. He also detailed how to properly manage credit lines and presented the different financing options currently available, including those backed by the Small Business Administration (SBA), which allow businesses to obtain working capital or acquire commercial real estate.
Later, Adriana Madriñan, consultant at the same organization, discussed the support network that accompanies these corporate operations. She explained how SBDC advisory programs work, enabling companies with fewer than 500 employees to access up to 50 hours of free consulting services to strengthen areas such as financial structuring, marketing, and innovation.
The session highlighted the importance of making informed decisions and seeking professional guidance when participating in these types of transactions and presenting strong applications to banks.
From the Colombian American Chamber of Commerce Miami, we extend an invitation to the entire business community to continue participating in and attending upcoming events, using these spaces for dialogue to stay connected, broaden perspectives, and learn from real experiences that strengthen decision-making.
