If your business is based in South Yorkshire and you're looking to raise additional capital - this event covers funding options available.
About this Event

Earlier this year South Yorkshire Pensions Authority launched two new funds to support economic development, unlocking much much-needed finance for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

A key criteria is that the business MUST be within South Yorkshire and looking for growth or shareholder liquidity.

So, if you are;

  • Needing funding to grow, but unsure of the funding available or where to start?
  • Considering an Acquisition but have doubts over your ability to raise the finance?
  • Believe your team would be unable to raise finance for a Management Buy-out?


Whatever the reason - if you're currently looking to raise additional capital and your business is based within South Yorkshire, then this event is one you should not miss*. Experts and owner managers will take you through the full range of financing options available right now and what it's really like to take on additional finance.
