The Tipton County Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Bankable, is launching a free program to help local small business owners build business credit, access capital, and put practical AI tools to work in their businesses.
The AI & Business Financial Foundations program will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday, Aug. 10 and Monday, Aug. 17 at the Tipton County Foundation. Participation is limited to 30 Tipton County businesses on a first-come, first-served basis. Lunch will be provided at both sessions.
Every participant who completes the program will receive a $500 credit-builder loan through Bankable, a $500 grant-funded stipend to cover loan payments, a one-year Claude Pro AI subscription, a one-year Tipton County Chamber of Commerce membership, and access to one-on-one business coaching through Bankable’s support network. Current Chamber members and new members are both eligible.
“Partnerships like this one with Bankable are exactly how we bring real, high-value programming to Tipton County businesses,” said Riley Harden, Executive Director of the Tipton County Chamber of Commerce. “We want local business owners to walk away with tools and resources they can put to work immediately, and this program delivers that in a way that removes every barrier to participation.”
The two sessions will cover business financial foundations and capital readiness, including understanding business credit, preparing for future financing, and managing business finances effectively. The second track focuses on using AI for financial decision-making, covering topics such as analyzing financial information, building budgets and cash flow projections, organizing records, and creating forecasting tools.
The program is part of a broader effort to increase financial confidence among Tipton County entrepreneurs, expand access to responsible capital, and drive adoption of practical AI tools among business owners.
Registration is open now, and Tipton County businesses can register online here. Interested business owners are encouraged to register early, as the program is capped at 30 participants.
