Lunch & Learn: Huntington Bussiness Banking|Financial Foundations — Start Smart. Grow Strong. Protect Your Future.

November 10, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (EST)

Description

The Chamber Lunch & Learn Series, presented by Southwestern Michigan College, is a free monthly event exclusively for Chamber Members. Each session dives into the current challenges and trends shaping the region, featuring insights from industry experts and a taste of local cuisine through diverse catering options from the Niles region.

*Due to Veterans Day, this event will be held on the second Tuesday*, November 10th

Whether you’re running an established company, launching a startup, or still exploring an idea, this Lunch & Learn will help you build a stronger financial foundation for your business. Join Monique Crowley, Branch Manager with Huntington Bank, for a practical 40-minute session covering the decisions and tools that matter most to small business owners: choosing the right business structure (DBA, LLC, or corporation), building business credit, understanding funding options including SBA lending, and preparing a credible financing request using the “Five Cs” of credit that lenders evaluate.

The conversation will also explore how to manage cash flow and use a line of credit responsibly, how business debit and credit cards and card acceptance can support purchasing power and revenue, and how treasury management, cybersecurity, and simple internal controls can protect the money you’ve already earned. You’ll leave with a financial wellness checklist and a clearer sense of the questions to ask your banker and your legal, tax, and accounting advisors. Bring your questions; time for Q&A will follow the presentation. This session is educational and does not constitute individual financial, legal, or tax advice.
