Avoiding Predatory Lending for Small Businesses 💼💵 is a national virtual webinar designed to help entrepreneurs safely shop for capital in a shrinking lending market. Every day, small businesses search for financing, but many approach it like personal credit — unaware that consumer lending protections do not apply to commercial financing. As a result, online small business lending is often called the “Wild Wild West,” where predatory terms, hidden fees, and aggressive repayment structures are common.

During this free national webinar, you’ll learn how to:

Spot predatory small business loans

Compare capital options safely and transparently

Understand the difference between personal lending regulations and commercial financing

Shop for financing with confidence and avoid costly pitfalls 🛑💡

This session is presented by Small Business Majority and the Responsible Business Lending Coalition, two trusted organizations advocating for fair, transparent lending practices that support small business growth without exploitation.

This virtual workshop is ideal for:
→ Small business owners
→ Startups seeking capital
→ Entrepreneurs preparing to borrow
→ Coaches, consultants, and community lenders who support business owners
