E521 – Anthony De Almeida, Beyond Banks: Financing Business Growth
“I would say probably 75% of companies that we speak with don’t have financial projections.”
Commercial lending is changing, and not in favour of small and mid-sized business owners. With traditional banks increasingly focused on larger deals, Anthony and his team have stepped into a crucial role, offering flexible financing solutions rooted in real-world business experience. Whether it's acquisition funding, working capital, or support during explosive growth, The Unbankers are filling a vital gap for companies caught between opportunity and inaccessibility. Anthony also unpacks the difference between being bankable and finance-ready, the rising importance of fractional CFOs, and how strong projections can make all the difference. For business leaders navigating unpredictable markets, this is a candid, practical look at building smarter financial strategies—and finding the right partners to help you get there.
