SUMMARY:Ready For Growth?  Navigating Your Capital Options
LOCATION:True Wild Distilling
DESCRIPTION:\nGrowing a food or beverage business often means making signi
 ficant decisions about equipment\, automation\, working capital\, expansio
 n and new markets. But knowing which financing partner to approach — and
  when — is not always straightforward.\nJoin AFPA and representatives fr
 om ATB\, FCC\, BDC and EDC for an interactive session designed to help Alb
 erta food and beverage processors understand their capital options and pre
 pare for productive financing conversations.\nRather than a series of pres
 entations\, the session will use practical processor scenarios and panel d
 iscussion to explore:\n• How financing needs change as a business grows
 • Who to call at different stages of growth• What financing partners l
 ook for when assessing an opportunity• How debt financing differs from o
 ther sources of capital• Equipment\, automation and capacity-expansion n
 eeds• Working-capital pressures• Export and market-expansion financing
 • What to have prepared before approaching a financing partner• What t
 o do if financing is not approved the first time\nParticipants will also h
 ave an opportunity to ask questions directly to the panel and receive a pr
 actical Capital Readiness Checklist.\n \nWho Should Attend?\nThis session
  is designed primarily for Alberta food and beverage processors preparing 
 for commercialization\, growth\, capacity expansion\, market development\,
  export or succession.\n \nSpace is limited. Priority will be given to fo
 od and beverage processors\, with a limited number of spaces available for
  AFPA Associate Members and ecosystem-support organizations.\n\nBoletos: h
