Free training sessions for the Creative Industries

Access to Finance

An intensive FREE day-long seminar aimed at existing and new start businesses that are looking to attract funding to help their enterprise grow or develop.

 

The session will look at:

  • the different types of funding available and which is most suited to your business growth plans,
  • business planning for finance and strategic development to make that growth happen,
  • making the perfect presentation to secure the funding

 

The seminar will be delivered by Jonathan Archard, Creative Launchpad business advisor.  Jon has years of experience of both sides of the funding application process, having spent a great deal of his career in commercial banking as well as making successful applications to public sector funders for community regeneration projects.  Jon will share his wide experience of successful funding applications with tips and tools to help you put together and present an irresistible pitch that funders just can’t turn down.

 

The sessions will be running in February and March in venues in Hereford, Worcester, Coventry, Stoke-on-Trent, Wolverhampton, Shrewsbury, Walsall and Birmingham.  To book your FREE place on one of these invaluable sessions or to find out more, please email info@creativelaunhcpad.co.uk or call 0845 303 7375 or go to http://creativelaunchpad.wordpress.com/free-training
