Free workshop demystifying business finance for start-ups. Learn how to assess needs, navigate lenders and secure the right funding.
About this Event

This workshop demystifies the finance landscape for new and growing businesses. It covers how to assess and understand your finance needs, identify specific finance solutions to achieve your objectives or address your challenges, and to confidently navigate the finance market to access the finance you need from trusted lenders, at competitive terms.
The session includes guidance on building a compelling lending proposal, understanding eligibility requirements, and how lenders assess applications. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to unlock the appropriate finance solutions for their needs, avoid common mistakes and minimise risk.

The session will be delivered by Josh Rees, Founder and Director of BCDF, who is a business finance specialist. Josh is an expert in funding for new and growing SMEs, who delivers practical insights to his clients on securing the right solutions at the right time.





Workshops are free for all aspiring entrepreneurs, start ups, and small businesses in the West of England Combined Authority region. All events are funded by the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority through the UKSPF.
