Why it’s worth going
This session offers finance and accounting students direct insight into the practical aspects of business financing and lending decisions from the perspective of a major financial institution and an accounting firm. Understanding what lenders look for when evaluating financing applications is critical knowledge for students pursuing careers in commercial banking, credit analysis, or business advisory services. The partnership with TD Bank and Bateman & MacKay LLP means students will hear from professionals actively working in these fields.
Going in prepared
Review basic business financing concepts such as debt-to-equity ratios, cash flow analysis, and collateral requirements before attending. Prepare questions about the lending evaluation process or specific financing challenges businesses face. If you’re not yet a Hamilton Chamber member, check whether student rates or guest attendance options are available. Bring business cards or contact information to share with speakers and other attendees for networking purposes.
