From Side Hustle to Small Business: Banking & Financial Foundations for Entrepreneurs

Thinking about turning your idea into a real business? Join us at The Junction for an educational session with representatives from Fifth Third Bank focused on helping entrepreneurs, founders, and small business owners better understand the financial side of building and growing a business.

This 45-minute presentation and Q&A will cover key topics including:

• Transitioning from a sole proprietorship to an LLC
• Understanding business credit and how to build it
• Managing cash flow as your business grows
• What bankers look for when evaluating businesses
• Preparing for conversations about business loans and financing
• Documents and information you should have ready before meeting with a bank
• Building confidence when discussing your business finances

This session is especially valuable for early-stage founders, side hustlers, and Luby Pitch participants looking to strengthen the foundation of their business. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions during an open Q&A and sign up for follow-up conversations and resources after the event.

Whether you are just getting started or preparing to scale, this workshop is designed to help empower entrepreneurs with practical financial knowledge and next-step guidance.
