Presenter




Ralph Homan

This workshop is presented by Ralph Homan, founder of ConneX.  The concept behind ConneX is based on Ralph’s more than 30 years of experience in equipment finance, Accounts Receivable financing, and as a banker.

Through these experiences, Ralph saw the benefit in one company connecting small business owners with banks, equipment finance, A/R financing (factoring), working capital loans, commercial real estate loans, purchase order financing, CFO services and other relevant financial services.  Today, ConneX helps small business owners secure a wide variety of alternative financing approvals when banks had to decline in a very efficient and effective manner, minimizing costs to the small business owner.
