New ways to fund your business growth

This workshop will focus on the various and increasingly specialised forms of finance available.

Previously, an overdraft may have been the mainstay of working capital funding, but now a whole new range of funders and products have been developed to satisfy the varying and dynamic working capital demands of businesses.

A record £18.9bn was lent by asset-based lenders in the three months to the end of June while the Bank of England reported that net lending by banks to SMEs reduced by over £1 billion in the first half of 2014.

The main contributor for this session is Simon Button from Business Bureau
