Our free Funding Growth Workshop is a practical, one-day intensive programme, designed to help business owners understand their funding options, strengthen their growth plans and approach finance providers with confidence.
This workshop, funded by Business Growth Dorset, condenses the key elements of our popular Funding for Scale programme into one focused and highly practical day – combining strategy, funding insight and expert input.
What We’ll Cover
1. Growth Clarity
Define your growth ambition and assess your readiness for funding. Explore the full funding landscape and understand how to match the right type of finance to your goals.
2. Building a Compelling Funding Case
Learn how to structure a strong growth narrative that resonates with different types of funders, including banks, investors and alternative lenders.
3. Financials, KPIs & Funding Reality
Understand what funders look for in financial models, cashflow forecasts and KPIs. Gain clarity on funding terms, risk, and what happens after funding is secured.
4. 1:1 Advisor Sessions
