Funding Growth – What, Why and Why Not

To help companies navigate and understand the range of options open to fund growth, finance experts, John Seal and Gianluca Lorenzon will be running an information packed workshop. 

During the workshop you will learn: 

  • How the European growth funding market is changing – from debt to private equity and why that is good for mid-market, growth focussed businesses 
  • How to get the best deal in the shortest time possible?
  • Alternative options to growth funding
