WorkParty Money Moves: Founders Framework with Rebekah Rice

Hi everyone! It’s the FINAL episode of WorkParty Money Moves: Founder’s Framework! Over the past four weeks I’ve been interviewing some incredible female founders on how they would break down a $10,000 small business loan to start a business.    Today is a special episode, because it is the last installment in this five part series, and we’ve decided to flip the script to close it out. While we’ve enjoyed learning about the many ways each of these founders would strategically spend their startup money, we wanted to take the last episode in the series to shine a spotlight on the scenario from the Bank’s point of view. And that’s why joining me today is Rebekah Rice, an expert on Small Business loans and an advocate for small business owners everywhere.  If you’re not familiar with her work, Rebekah Rice is a Small Business Regional Executive at Bank of America. She leads a team of 200 Small Business leaders and teammates to help the small business community thrive. More specifically, she helps the small business team to put capital into our communities, drive revenue growth, acquire client relationships, and provides a world class client experience.  She’s been serving small businesses for almost 20 years, and even started a business of her own during the pandemic. This personal experience has given her an even greater lens into the bank’s products and services and has made her a better advocate for the small business owners she serves everyday. The question I’m posing to Rebekah is: “How would you advise a small consumer-packaged goods business to use the $10K loan to successfully grow their business?” As someone with experience advising small businesses and embarking on her own entrepreneurial journey, Rebekah has a unique perspective on the founder’s framework situation, and in this episode she's sharing the inside scoop! Well, Rebekah—it is such a pleasure to have you on the WorkParty podcast today! I’m really excited to dive in and hear how you would spend this $10,000 in funding.   Sponsors: • Bank of America | Bank of America knows that women entrepreneurs often face challenges in accessing the necessary capital and resources to run and grow their own businesses.
