SUMMARY:Ready For Growth?  Navigating Your Capital Options (Calgary)
LOCATION:Campio Ritchie
DESCRIPTION:\nGrowing a food or beverage business often means making signif
 icant decisions about equipment\, automation\, working capital\, expansion
  and new markets. But knowing which financing partner to approach — and 
 when — is not always straightforward.\nJoin AFPA and representatives fro
 m ATB\, FCC\, BDC and EDC for an interactive session designed to help Albe
 rta food and beverage processors understand their capital options and prep
 are for productive financing conversations.\nRather than a series of prese
 ntations\, the session will use practical processor scenarios and panel di
 scussion 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
