Entrepreneurs looking to navigate funding opportunities for their businesses are being urged to attend an "unmissable" free funding event set to be held this month.Organisers of the The West Midlands Business Funding Summit set to be held in Birmingham on November 20 say the event will bring together investors, financial institutions and business advisers to help companies and entrepreneurs navigate the funding opportunities and support on offer.
Jane Galsworthy, managing director of Oxford Innovation Advice, said:"We have nearly four decades of experience in supporting SME businesses to grow and raising finance is often a key part of scaling. We understand that the range of funding and support that is available can be confusing. As well as keynote speeches from organisations which have successfully secured investment, panel discussions at the STEAMhouse event will explore the opportunities on offer with tips for entrepreneurs on how to prepare their business for external finance.
“Over the last year, the Investment Readiness programme has helped 650 companies enhance their finances, with 13 businesses successfully securing more than £2.5m of funding. One of our most recent successes saw West Midlands toy retailer, Booghe Toys, secure £1.2m to invest in its growth. Over the course of the programme, we’re hoping to support around 2,000 SME businesses and entrepreneurs to grow.
