Discover financing options with suppliers and customers, and learn how to build business capacity by leveraging business contracts during a February 12, 2026, webinar hosted by the nonprofit lender LiftFund.

Many business owners overlook the opportunities presented by their customers and suppliers simply because they don’t know what to ask or how to construct effective payment plans.

The one-hour webinar provides an overview of how to leverage financial strategies by negotiating terms and payment plans. Participants will learn how to negotiate optimal terms with suppliers and implement effective payment and financing options for customers. They will learn how to maximize financial support from both suppliers and customers to build business capacity with cash flow.

The webinar features speaker Forrest Seale, a business consultant who provides strategic business advice, specifically focusing on cash flow management, negotiating payment terms, and customer financing for established small businesses.
