NAGGL Annual Conference
NAGGL chief executive Tony Wilkinson opens the association’s 34th Annual Conference, welcoming 900 attendees. The SBA 7(a) program continues to bridge the gap left when conventional loans are unavailable to creditworthy small business borrowers. We will spend two very full days exploring complex topics in 7(a) lending like equity injection, tiered ownership structures, franchises; and gathering member input on lending in rural markets, the role of FinTech, and the proposed regulatory changes. We’ll also hear what to expect on The Hill in coming months and get the latest updates from our SBA partners.
