Accessing the right funding can accelerate growth — but choosing the wrong option, or approaching funders unprepared, can cost time, control, and momentum.
This practical workshop demystifies the funding landscape for early-stage and growing businesses. We’ll explore the full spectrum of funding options — from grants and debt to equity investment — and look honestly at the pros and cons of each, so you can make informed decisions that fit your business and your ambitions.
You’ll gain a clear understanding of:
– How different funding types work in practice
– What funders are really looking for in applications and pitches
– The language of funding — how to present risk, return, impact and growth
– What you need in your funding toolkit (financials, plans, narratives and evidence) to be ready to apply with confidence
The session is practical, jargon-free and grounded in real-world experience, with time for discussion and questions throughout.
Led by Russell Copley, an experienced advisor to founders and growth-stage businesses, this workshop is designed to leave you clearer, better prepared, and more confident about funding your next stage of growth.
There will also be the opportunity to ask questions during the event.
Once you have registered, joining instructions will be sent separately.
