We’re pleased to be hosting River Capital’s Access to Alternative Funding event at Cotton Court.
Join us for a free breakfast event with tea, coffee and pastries while hearing from funding experts, local business leaders and organisations supporting businesses across Lancashire.
River Capital will explore today’s funding landscape, the finance available to growing businesses and how different funding options can support businesses at different stages. You’ll also hear real experiences from Lancashire businesses that have successfully secured funding, followed by the opportunity to ask questions and continue the conversation with the speakers.
