Informed Funding: Funding Fair

Informed Funding is a free online information resource designed to help growing businesses identify the range of options available to them to raise finance. It offers a combination of bite-sized factual information and guidance, along with self-service online tools that enable users to hone in on the providers who best match their needs.

Following the success of our Funding Fair Launch at the end of February, we will be hosting another Funding Fair on the 24th September at the Metal Box on Southbank. We once again plan to have a full afternoon and evening of informative sessions. This time we will hone in on “What works in new finance for SMEs”. The aim of the fair is to provide you, business owners, PRACTICAL education and information on business finance.

The sessions will be clearly focused on how SMEs can start to think differently about the way they might finance themselves. Sessions will include ‘Crowd Funding Readiness’ and ‘P2P Readiness’ where we will case study some of the success stories, talk directly to leading Crowd Funding and Peer-to-Peer specialists and investors. In these sessions we will also take participants through our diagnostic tool to test their potential for funding.

Guest speakers include Kevin Green (secret millionaire) and Lorne Vary, CFO of Brompton Bikes.

Attendees will be in with a chance of winning a Brompton Bike for themselves.
