Unlocking Credit Power Workshop with First Vision Financial

Ditch the lending nonsense and get the capital you actually deserve.

Capital is the #1 challenge for owners, and in the food industry, the rules for credit are constantly shifting. Join us for a workshop where we pull back the curtain on what banks really look for in a restaurant’s balance sheet.

Denise Kellison of is spilling the secrets she’s learned from 30 years of helping Texas food entrepreneurs get funded fast. Whether you're looking to launch your first food truck, expand your bakery to a second location, or finally upgrade that kitchen equipment, this session is for you.
