Fit for Business: Reviewing Your Funding Options

What are the best options for you to fund the growth of your business?

Working with the British Library and Nottinghamshire Business & IP Centre, Smorgasbord is excited to be able to offer you a series of webinars as part of the Fit For Business Programme.

Are you an SME looking to grow? Not sure how to access funding? Want to know more about the plethora of funding options available to you? This webinar will demystify the intricacies of SME funding and help explain the optimal routes to accessing the four main types of finance available for your business.

By the end of the workshop, you will be fully informed as to the funding options available to you, which are the most suitable for your business and how to successfully manage funding within your business to optimise growth.

We will discuss some of the routes open to you, including Government funding, whilst also taking a glimpse into the future funding landscape.

This is particularly relevant for organisations who are looking to finance a new start-up venture, need some form of ‘bridging’ finance, who want to scale up and fully power their business model for growth, or for those who simply require funding to carry on operating in the post pandemic era and the current economic situation.
