Raise your hand if, as a small business owner, you’ve put company expenses on your personal credit card? 

It happens to many. They put up their own resources, money, and even credit scores for their small businesses. And for good reason: They want to see their businesses thrive and succeed, so they do what they think they have to do. 

But what if there were another way? 

What if, instead, small business owners weren’t shot down left and right whenever they apply for loans or lines of credit to get their businesses off the ground or keep them running? 

Ken So saw a need, so he founded Tilful, a service dedicated to bringing financial inclusion to small businesses and helping them build and gain access to credit.

Join us as we discuss:

• How Tilful aims to go beyond the top 5% of small businesses with great credit and help everybody
• Why you should stop putting up your own assets to keep your small business going
• The challenges facing small businesses when seeking access to meaningful credit
