Bill D’Alessandro (@BillDA) and Heather Endresen (@HeatherEndresen), we talk a lot about the Small Business Administration (SBA) and discuss interesting topics such as why the deals are going down and the important safety considerations for this environment. Heather also imparts a great deal of crucial knowledge on cash flow and risks that we should keep in mind in the current environment.
We also talk about an Outdoor B2B eCommerce Brand. We get to witness Heather's informative knowledge of this type of loan. Additionally, we learn about the difficulty of seasonality when leveraging a business.
