Multi-Chamber Coffee Hour

This casual, welcoming event is a great opportunity to build relationships, share ideas, and strengthen partnerships across our business communities.

Enjoy coffee and light refreshments while meeting fellow business owners, professionals, and community leaders.

Access to capital can be the difference between surviving and scaling your business.

Join the Lansing Area Chamber of Commerce for Capital Kick-Off, a powerful and practical educational breakfast designed to help small businesses and entrepreneurs become lender-ready and confident when seeking funding.

This isn’t just another workshop — it’s a direct opportunity to meet lenders face-to-face, understand what they truly look for, and learn how to position your business for approval. Whether you’re just starting out or preparing for your next phase of growth, this session will give you actionable tools and insider insight you can use immediately.

You’ll learn how personal and business credit impact loan decisions, common mistakes that prevent businesses from accessing capital, and the steps you can take now to strengthen your financial profile. You’ll also explore real funding options — including loans, lines of credit, and grants — and get your questions answered directly by financial experts.

Why this matters:
Capital fuels growth. Businesses that understand credit and lender expectations are far more likely to secure funding when opportunity knocks. This event empowers you with knowledge that can directly impact your business’s future.

✔ Learn what lenders actually want
✔ Build stronger business credit
✔ Connect with funding partners
✔ Walk away with clarity, confidence, and next steps

Open to members and non-members. Free to attend.
Seats are limited — don’t miss this opportunity to invest in the financial strength of your business.
