The Death of Small Town Banking (And Why It Matters)

Equity 2.0 Seminar The Perry Marshall Event of the Year REGISTER NOW!   Mel,   Remember when business owners could walk down Main Street, have lunch with their banker, and shake hands on a deal?   I do. Barely. But then I'm in my mid-50s, so I remember when there was no internet.   Those days are dead.   Today's lending landscape is a minefield of:   • Faceless algorithms deciding your fate • 25-year-old MBAs who've never run a business • Hidden fees that can add 10-12% to your loan • Predatory rates disguised as "alternative financing" • Complex paperwork designed to trap you   Most entrepreneurs don't realize they're playing a rigged game until it's too late.   That's why we're bringing back relationship-based financing – but with a modern twist.   On April 22-24 in Chicago, you'll:   • Speed-date with ethical funding sources who understand entrepreneurs • Learn creative financing strategies most advisors never mention • Meet lenders who care about your mission, not just your margins • Join a community that looks after its own   Plus: Expert roundtables where you can sit down with SBA lenders, private equity veterans, and financing specialists who speak human, not spreadsheet.   Even if you're not looking to sell, the financing knowledge alone could save your business someday.   [Read More about Equity 2.0 Seminar and save your seat at the table.]   Seize the day, Perry   P.S. I'm so confident in the practical value of this event, I make this promise: Attend the first two days, engage with the materials, and if you don't identify at least $1 million in potential upside (whether through smarter financing, avoided mistakes, or growth opportunities), I'll refund your entire registration PLUS $500 for your travel expenses.     ***NOTE: This email address isn't monitored!
