Access to finance is a key driver of business growth, but securing funding requires more than simply submitting an application. Successful entrepreneurs understand the importance of building financial readiness, strengthening their business fundamentals, and knowing what lenders look for before seeking financing.
IYBA WE4A, in collaboration with Melanin Kapital, invites green SMEs to an interactive Credit Readiness Webinar designed to help entrepreneurs better understand the financing process and prepare their businesses for funding opportunities.
During this session, participants will gain practical insights into how financial institutions assess businesses and the steps entrepreneurs can take to improve their credit readiness. The webinar will provide guidance on strengthening financial management, preparing essential documentation, and improving overall business preparedness for accessing finance.
Participants will learn:
✅ What lenders assess when evaluating financing applications
✅ How cash flow, repayment capacity, and collateral influence lending decisions
✅ The key financial and business documents every SME should have ready
✅ How Kapital Fit, Melanin Kapital’s credit readiness programme, supports businesses in preparing for financing
✅ Practical lessons from an entrepreneur’s real funding journey
The session will be led by Mélanie Keïta, Founder & CEO of Melanin Kapital, who will share expert perspectives and practical recommendations to help green SMEs navigate their financing journey.
