Bar Loans, Business Credit, and Getting Approved with Matt Meehan and Luigi Rosabianca

Episode notes

Most bar owners don't think about financing until they need money - and by then, the decisions they've already made can determine whether a lender says yes or no. In this episode, I'm joined by Matt Meehan and Luigi Rosabianca to break down what actually makes a bar or restaurant lendable, why your financial foundation matters long before you apply, and where owners get themselves into trouble with the wrong types of financing. We get into clean books, business structure, bank accounts, personal and business credit, CPAs, merchant cash advances, equipment financing, lines of credit, SBA loans, and why the money you borrow should match exactly what you're using it for. Because getting access to capital isn't just about finding the right lender. It's about building a business a lender can actually understand and confidently lend to.
