For budding entrepreneurs, launching a business these days may require a lot more hand holding. That's where Coventry Credit Union comes in.

Adam Quinlan, vice president of commercial services at the Coventry, R.I.-based cooperative, is the resident expert in the "Ask Adam" campaign. The $270 million credit union has launched a series of free sessions for established small businesses and hopefuls seeking advice on such topics as navigating through finances, qualifying for SBA or other loans and general business and financial advice.

The first of three sessions will kick off on Sept. 25 at Coventry's North Kingstown branch. Additional meetings are planned at the credit union's other branches.

Coventry launched its business services division in late 2008. Prior to joining the new department, Quinlan owned and operated a local firm that specialized in financing deals across Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut ranging from multi-unit apartment buildings to a $150 million specialty use facility.
