Do you want to attract finance into your business?

Are you looking to make your business ready for investment?

The Worcestershire Growth Hub is running an event designed to help local businesses answer those questions.

The Worcestershire Finance and Investor Readiness event will provide invaluable awareness for businesses to delve into the intricacies of financial management, the importance of accountancy practices, common tax misconceptions, and the type of support available in the area that could hinder growth and sustainability.

Speakers for the event include:

• Ballards LLP, who will be covering the best practices around financies and accountancy.
• Mercia Ventures, who will be discussing how to pitch your business for investment.
• Worcestershire Growth Hub, we will provide an update on the wider support available to businesses in Worcestershire.

The Event will be held on the 21 August at the Royal Porcelain Works in Worcester  and is aimed at equipping businesses in the county with the knowledge and tools necessary to become finance and investor-ready. This initiative comes as a direct response to insights gathered from the events we held over the past year, which identified finance as a critical area of concern and interest for businesses in the county.
