Funding Ready: Building a Finance-Ready Business

Explore funding options, strengthen financial visibility and build confidence to become funding ready. If you're thinking about funding for your business, the first step may not be finding finance, it may be getting a clearer picture of your numbers. In this two-hour workshop, you'll explore the funding options available to your business, including loans, investment and alternative finance. We'll explain everything in plain English and help you understand what lenders and investors are really looking for. You'll also learn how to get more from accounting software such as Xero and FreeAgent. By keeping your financial information accurate and up to date, you'll have a better understanding of your cash flow, make more informed decisions and be ready to apply for funding when the time is right. We'll show you how to create the key financial reports funders expect to see, spot potential cash flow issues earlier and build confidence in presenting your business financially. You may even find that with better visibility and processes, you can achieve your goals without external funding. If you're planning to grow, invest or simply strengthen your financial management, you'll leave with practical tools and a clearer path to becoming funding ready.
