SUMMARY:Smart Capital Options: The Right Financing at Every Stage of Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Every manufacturer hits the same wall at some point: you know what you need to build\, buy\, or upgrade\, but figuring out how to finance it without derailing everything else is another job entirely. \nThis webinar cuts through the noise. Whether you are an early-stage hardware startup trying to fund your first pilot run or an established manufacturer planning a major automation or Industry 4.0 investment\, the challenge is less about finding capital and more about finding the right capital at the right time. \n  \nPanelists \nLisa Gonzales Welch Business Development Specialist\, U.S. Small Business Administration\, MA District Office \nLily Fitzgerald Director\, Center for Advanced Manufacturing \nAbby Nguyen-Burke Senior Vice President\, Team Leader\, Equity Alliance for Business\, Eastern Bank \nJoe Hastry Co-Founder\, Finance & Ops Leader\, Florrent
