NAAAP Kansas City is hosting a finance-focused workshop designed to help entrepreneurs at every stage turn their side hustle into a sustainable main hustle.

This session will cover the fundamentals of building a strong business plan, financial planning strategies, and navigating small business loans. Mary Buche from Academy Bank will share insights on small business loans, banking resources, and what entrepreneurs should know when preparing to seek funding.

You’ll also hear from three local entrepreneurs (Gingko Embrodiery, ChaTime, and Alba Laredo Ceramics) who will share their experiences, lessons learned, and insights from building their own businesses. Whether you’re refining your strategy, seeking capital, or preparing to scale, this workshop will give you practical tools, real-world perspective, and the financial clarity to grow with intention.
