NatWest Funding Accelerator: Financials for Funding (Workshop 5)

Whether you're preparing to pitch or simply want to get your financial house in order, this session will help you decode the numbers that investors care about.

We’ll explore the key financial and trigger metrics that demonstrate your business is fundable, how to forecast your cash flow with confidence, and what actions you can take to improve your financial position.
