What is the Business Support?
Many entrepreneurs are confused by the fundraising landscape and to help them navigate the funding landscape better, we’ve designed this programme to help to demystify the funding options available to founders and entrepreneurs and to provide the skills and knowledge needed to fund business growth.
The next Funding Readiness programme will run in October and November 2021 with a Demo Day for selected businesses being held in January 2022 with tailored demo day support held in December 2021.
The programme is designed to demystify the funding options available to you and to provide you with the skills and knowledge needed to fund business growth. Sessions will cover grant funding, crowdfunding equity investment, as well as other funding options.
