How to get access to financing: practical tips of what to do (and not do)
A course to all startups and small businesses that are struggling to find financing to grow their businesses.
Finding funding to grow your business is not easy
But it also doesn't need to be harder than it is
For many years my organisation and I have helped thousands of small and medium sized businesses to access financing.
This is a course to help you and empower you with the understand of what is realistically achievable, how financing tools work and how to access them
Financing vs funding: the difference is huge. When you find funding (i.e. an investor) you have to give up a chunk of your company for a specific amount. This is great if you need the investors' expertise on board and some capital to get started. Yet funding will not help you to grow your business because you will always need financing along the route (think about that big order you got where you struggled to find the finances to fulfil it before getting paid). Setting your company up so that it is attractive to various financing options is the best gift you can give to the sustainability of your business
