#NVSBW25 Funding Intel Brief

Situational Awareness for the Lending Battlefield

In-Person Lender Panel & Frank Conversation for Veterans and Military Spouses

Hosted by the LA Regional Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC)

If you’ve ever felt unclear, stuck, or overwhelmed by the small business funding process — you’re not alone. This session is your chance to break through the fog of war with real talk from real lenders.

Join the LA VBOC for a candid, IN-PERSON panel discussion featuring loan officers, lenders, and capital providers who will offer blunt, actionable insight into how veteran-owned small businesses can secure funding — and what obstacles may stand in the way. This is your opportunity to meet, build connections and ask questions of veteran friendly lenders.

You’ll walk away with:

Step by Step guidance on increasing your odds to secure loans

Clarity on what lenders look for— and why lenders make the decisions they do

Intel on state and federal loan guarantees that could reduce your risk and improve your odds

A chance to gather critical tactical information and position your business for funding success

This is not a pitch session. It’s open, honest conversation from the people who sit on the other side of the loan process.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
