MARCHES LEP ACCESS TO FINANCE SUMMIT – Book
The Beech Room, University of Wolverhampton, Telford | Darby Building | Shifnal Road | TF2 9NT Telford | United Kingdom
Wednesday, 7 November 2018 from 11:30 to 15:00 (GMT)
We’ve drawn together some of the region’s leading experts on alternative finance to tell you just what is available in this rapidly-growing sector.
They’ll explain the various funding streams small businesses can now tap into – including peer-to-peer lenders, equity funds, invoice discounters, crowd funders and locally-based small business loan funds.
Our key speaker is Norman Price OBE, the former Chair of the West Midlands Regional Finance Forum and now a board member at BCRS Business Loans. Norman has worked in industry at directorship level and more recently as a key influencer in public policy both nationally and in the West Midlands, and has played a pivotal role in establishing venture capital funds and transformation loan funds in the region.
We will hear about the latest developments in the provision of finance to small businesses and have the opportunity to contribute to The Marches LEP plans to raise awareness of available funding.
This event is aimed at professional services advisers to small businesses, accountants, solicitors, enterprise support advisers, business finance advisers, finance brokers, banks, insolvency practitioners and alternative finance providers in Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin.
