If you are starting or growing a business and you’re looking for funding of £10,000 or more, you’ll need someone to help you work through the different options and identify which type of funding will work best for your business. “Understanding Finance for Business” is a free of charge programme that helps entrepreneurs identify the right kind of funding for their business and get in shape for investment. There are places available on the forthcoming workshops at Wood Green on 10 November 2009 and Wyboston on 19 November 2009.
Grant funding? Bank? Friends & Family? Business angel? Venture Capitalist? There’s a bewildering choice of funding options for entrepreneurs, some of which come with strings attached, begging a host of questions. By signing up for “Understanding Finance for Business” entrepreneurs will get all the answers they need from experts in business finance.
The programme is run by St John’s Innovation Centre (a globally renowned business incubator, which has a wealth of experience in working with entrepreneurs and the investment community) on behalf of the East of England Development Agency. The process is simple – register online, then attend two workshops (2 – 3 hours each, held regularly throughout the region). The first workshop covers the big picture and the second looks at funding in a more focused way. After these, if the team think you would benefit from one-to-one support to get you to an investment ready position you will be supported and advised in your journey to secure funding.
