NETWORKING: Back to Reality - business funding in tough times
Ambitious, early-stage companies typically need external funding to support product, market and business development. This can be hard to find in today's tough economic conditions.
This BEN networking event will present realistic information to help entrepreneurs find their way through the funding maze.
Three leading local providers of equity funding will give their perspectives on funding in the current challenging funding climate. Covering business angels, seed funding and private equity, they will explain what each class of investor is looking for and how to approach them.
Tracey Williams of Exigo Corporate Finance will explore one of the most contentious issues in the funding process - how to find a business valuation that is acceptable to both investor and investee.
The event will also celebrate the extension of BEN's activities to Bath and it's re-launch as the Bath and Bristol Enterprise Network.
