8:07AM, Anya Petersen-Frey, Southeast Regional Director WyomingEntrepreneur.biz . Anya will have Matt Burgess from American National Bank join her.  In the business community there continues to be some frustration at the apparant lack of funding for business, or rather, the challenge of accessing the funding. Matt  is the Market President for the Cheyenne area and has a solid understanding of our Wyoming small business climate.  They will discuss some of the regulatory issues that banks are facing in offering lending and how this changes the way that they assess a business loan.  What is a bank looking for when it determines lending for business - the rural market is different from urban areas yet, it seems that often data/research for 'normal' financial ratio's come from larger population bases that might not translate to our state. Also, what are red flags do a bank look for?  Do they take into account prior history of the business, not just, perhaps, a troubled year?  How can a business prepare?
