SUMMARY:Get Funding Ready and Access the Finance Your Business Needs
DESCRIPTION:Extract from event advert \n“Practical guidance on investment readiness\, funding opportunities and how to make a compelling case to lenders\, investors and grant bodies. \n\n\nGrowth costs money\, whether you need investment to hire your next employee\, upgrade your equipment\, launch a new product or simply smooth out the peaks and troughs of cash flow\, access to the right finance at the right time can be the difference between a business that grows and one that stands still. \nThe challenge most businesses face isn’t a shortage of funding options. It’s knowing which ones are right for them\, whether they’re actually ready to apply\, and how to make the strongest possible case. Walk in unprepared\, and even a strong business can be turned away. \nThis fully funded session cuts through the complexity. You’ll hear from people who know the funding landscape in Tees Valley inside out\, understand exactly what funders are looking for\, and leave with a clear view of what you need to do next\, whether that’s a grant\, a loan\, equity investment or something else entirely.” \n\n\n\n\n  \n\nFor more information and to register\, please click here.
