Access to Finance Workshops

By Business Solutions Centres
schedule24th Mar 15

There are many different funding sources available to SMEs and choosing the right type can often be complicated and confusing.

The Black Country Growth Hub is offering businesses the opportunity to attend a series of FREE workshops to help identify the suitability of different types of funding. The focus of each workshop is on developing knowledge and equipping businesses to make better informed financial decisions rather than promotion of particular solutions or funders.

All workshops will take place in the Wolverhampton Business Solutions Centre from 5.30pm to 7.30pm commencing with a short presentation, followed by a Q&A session and concluding with an opportunity for business networking. Refreshments and a light buffet will also be provided.
