Legendary boxer and entrepreneur Mike Tyson will serve as the keynote speaker at the 2025 Funders Forum + Broker Expo, an event that will address the shifting policy and regulatory challenges facing the small business finance industry. With a focus on resilience and adaptation, Tyson’s story of reinvention underscores the themes of this year’s conference.
The event, scheduled for March 4-6 in Hollywood, Florida, arrives as the finance industry navigates significant changes, including the second Trump administration and a new regulatory environment. Organizers have structured the conference to provide insights into the latest policy developments, legal frameworks, and strategies for growth, ensuring that attendees are equipped to adapt in a rapidly changing environment.
Among key topics on the conference agenda will be analyses of how the new administration’s policies may reshape the financial landscape, the legal foundations of revenue-based financing, and readiness for evolving regulatory requirements. These sessions will aim to help business leaders and stakeholders address challenges and seize opportunities in the year ahead.
While policy and compliance remain central to the agenda, the Expo will also emphasize collaboration and innovation. Panels featuring industry executives, legal experts, and policymakers will explore cutting-edge financial technologies, regulatory updates, and strategies for navigating the complexities of small business finance.
The Funders Forum + Brokers Expo is hosted by the Revenue-Based Finance Coalition, a dynamic and growing organization of responsible finance companies committed to providing essential capital to small and medium-sized businesses through innovative, non-traditional funding methods.
“This conference is designed to help attendees stay informed and proactive,” said Mary Donohue, the coalition’s Executive Director. “It’s about providing the tools and connections needed to succeed in an evolving regulatory environment.”
In addition to Tyson’s keynote address on March 6, attendees will have opportunities to connect with peers, share ideas, and engage in discussions that will shape the future of the industry.
