Designed specifically for small businesses, this morning's session will provide you with an understanding of the documents required when raising both debt and equity investment.

This session will provide you with an understanding of:

  • The current debt and equity funding landscape;
  • The key documents that will support your investment journey;
  • How to structure your documentation to help it stand out;
  • How to value your business in order to secure the correct amount of funding at a price that can be justified;
  • Key initial considerations for pitching and legal documents, and where to go for more information.
