Access to Finance – with Dr Andrew Murrison MP
Whether you need money to help you to start your business, to grow it to the next level, or to help you survive; it can be difficult to know which is the right funding route for you.
If you’d like to understand more about the different options come along to this event from 0930-1300 on 15 September in Trowbridge and hear our panel discuss the routes available to you and have the opportunity to ask them the things that would help you to decide where to apply.
At this event you will hear from a range of different providers about what they offer small businesses, how they decide if a business is one they will fund and what the application process is like.
We will also hear from organisations which specialise in supporting businesses which use technology about the experiences they have seen in recent times and the lessons they have learnt along the way. James Wilkes from Wiltshire-based Wilxite will be our keynote speaker sharing how he funded his business and how he decided the best route for them to expand.
Our speakers include:
Edward Tellwright, Senior Manager for the South West at The British Business Bank
Nicola Parker, Business Manager from SWIG Finance
Ben Cooper, Funding and Support Lead from Tech South West
Stuart Harrison, Director of Fintech West
Lucy Paine, responsible for ecosystem development at Tech Spark
Rachel Sweet, Business Navigator at the Swindon and Wiltshire Growth Hub
We will also be joined by Francis Clark Accountants and James Wilkes from Wilxite who will talk about their journey as a tech business navigating the world of finance.
Find out how they can help your business to access finance and have the opportunity to speak to them one to one during the event.
This session will take place at Elevate Online Marketing, a long-established Trowbridge tech business.
