Investment. Why should you give up some of your business? Is a %age of a big pie better than 100% of your pie? And who is the right investor, anyway.
The world of private equity, venture capital and angel investors sometimes seems like the world of Silicon Valley. But the truth is that businesses can scale much faster with the right investors. Yes, you need a pitch and a business plan with a forecast based on assumptions you can back up – and adjust to show that you know the impact if your predictions don’t materialise (we all know that the one thing we can be sure of is that a forecast will be wrong!). But the work to prepare this doesn’t have to be difficult, and the reward if you get it right significant.
Invest 2 hours of your time on the 19th May, 9-11am, to explore the world of investment with Ian Lloyd from Milsted Langdon, Hollie Edwards-Davies from Harbourside Corporate Finance and Matt Browning from The FSE Group. The return will be well worthwhile.
Tickets are fully funded (and include a breakfast roll).

Are you a business owner? Like the idea of money you don’t have to pay back?
The grant landscape has changed dramatically since we left the European Union. But that doesn’t mean there are none to be had. Dr. Ben Masheder from Innovate UK will be joining us to talk about the UK’s Innovation Agency and the general UK grant landscape.
Join us at Little Walcot on June 9th, 9-11am, to explore what is available, and how to apply.
Sponsored once again by Milsted Langdon and Harbourside Corporate Finance, this event is fully funded (and includes a breakfast roll and coffee).
Grants are the only form of funding that don’t need to be repaid – although there will be conditions (usually relating to GVA – Gross Value Add) to be met.
Want to understand more? Book your place now.
We deliberately keep attendance low to ensure everybody gets a chance to speak.
