Presented by the Lone Star College System – Small Business Development Center

lonestar_logoWhen the recession hit the US economy in 2008, the financial impact on individuals and small business owners was unprecedented. Credit turned into a major road block overnight. This program was designed to bridge the gap of knowledge that left so many stranded.

At this workshop you will learn:
• What FICO scores mean and how they are used
• The impact of personal credit on small business lending
• What creditors are actually looking for
• Steps you can take to maintain and improve your credit

Space is limited. The first 25 attendees to sign up also will have a chance to talk to a certified credit counselor about their individual situation. Note: Participants who would like one-on-one credit counseling must bring their own credit report. You may obtain your credit report once a year for free at www.annualcreditreport.com
