Welcome to the newest season of The Art of SBA Lending Podcast!
This week we are kicking off with part-one of a fan-favorite, panel-style episode discussing the (surprising) state of small business.
Our host, Ray Drew welcomes Bill Woodard, Chief Credit Officer at T Bank, Jordan Hallam, Director of Government Guaranteed Lending at SouthState Bank and Nick Roach President and CEO of Stone Bank.
Listen to their takes on the state of small business and how it’s not quite going the way we expected, managing relationships with borrowers that aren’t communicating favorably and how to change that, deferment requests, protecting your bank and the benefits of meeting a borrower in person during the lending process.
