Fifth Third Bank Credit School

Developed to address the apparent lack of access to capital for underserved markets as evidenced by SBA's own loan statistics, the UGA SBDC Credit School has helped bridge the gap in financing education. In the past five years alone, we've helped small businesses like yours raise nearly $1 billion through loans and equity financing.

Reimagined from our previous full-day course, this 1.5-hour webinar is designed for underserved market groups, but it is open to all business owners. Utilizing its lending expertise, knowledge of SBA and other loan programs, loan packaging skills, and banking relationships, The Credit School instructors and panelists provide startups and small business owners an exclusive opportunity to learn from the experts who have already helped thousands secure business loans.

Thanks to a sponsorship from Fifth Third Bank, we are able to present the Fifth Third Bank Credit School.
