Financing your Start-Up Nano Brewery

Congrats – you are getting closer to realizing your dream of opening a small brewery! But shiny new tanks or a new taproom space aren’t free and not everyone has enough cash flow or savings on hand to self-fund a brewery launch. Learn the keys to financing your plans for growth with Jason Sleeman who works with brewery clients on how to strategically pay for your start-up that won’t hurt you down the line with unattractive terms. Jason will go over what needs to be in your business plans, financing sources and options, and more to help you make your dreams of a new craft brewery a reality.
