In this special episode of Small Biz Florida, we're coming to you live from the Florida Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders conference. Our focus is clear: assisting small business owners and operators in accessing the capital they need to start, grow, and expand their businesses. To guide us through this financial landscape, we have a distinguished guest, Mr. William A.

William brings a wealth of experience to the conversation, with almost three decades in the banking industry. He shares his journey, from being a branch manager in southern Nevada to his current role at Florida First Capital. His mission is simple yet impactful: helping small business owners secure the necessary funds for significant capital investments, such as equipment and machinery. Florida First Capital, a non-profit government financial institution, plays a pivotal role in administering the SBA 504 program. This program, shaped by Congress in the 1980s, is celebrated for its exceptional rates and terms, making it an attractive option for small businesses.

Today I asked Ms. Wanda Fields to join me as a guest to discuss Fields Financial Funding www.Fieldsfinancialfunding.com. Her company specializes in providing funding to small businesses. Hearing about this business venture made me so excited. Small business funding has been such an under-resourced market. Before covid, the SBA was the primary source of funding and their process was not very friendly or fast nor were many applicants ever approved. Listen to the information Wanda shares on what kind of loans her company can offer, the terms, the qualifications and the rates. They are very competitive and much easier to access then the traditional lending system. Now for the bonus!! You can listen to the Ready Set Free Podcast on Wanda's online radio station, WFNY Radio http://wyny.fm.beenetworkenterprises.com . Her station features an array of financial education shows and musical entertainment. While there, you can listen to Wanda's podcast titled, The Financial Freedom Show. In addition, Wanda is an author of 2 eBooks, 3 rd Gen Investment Guide and 3 rd Gen Stock Market Fundamentals. She is an active options day trader and cryptocurrencies swing trader and teaches classes on both through 3rd Gen Academy online.
