How to Properly Structure Your Business to Secure Business Funding
2025-04-22 17:00 - 18:30 | NV
The Cornerstones of Funding is a 3-part series dedicated to educating business owners on the 3 most important aspects lending institutions evaluate to make decisions on whether to deny or approve your application. The second workshop focuses on Proper Business Structure.
In 2025, structuring your business properly is essential to securing Business Funding, as lenders and investors look for credibility, stability, and legal protection. Many business owners have structured their business to be noticeable BUT not Fundable. For instance, choosing the proper entity structure (C-Corp, S-Corp, LLC), securing an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS, picking the right business address, using the right business phone number, congruency within all documentation, business bank account setup, professional website and email address, DUN#, choosing the correct NAICS Code, and posting your business on the right platforms are all data points business owners do not consider that banks hold in high esteem when applying for Business Funding. Unfortunately, a lender can deny your application for one of these areas, so it is incumbent upon you to know what is necessary for funding success!
