Looking for Money? Then Look Here

Capital Enterprise is happy to announce that it is co-sponsoring (with Keynote Law) this year’s London Funding Conference, that will take place on the evening of the 7th September at the British Library. The event is a great opportunity for entrepreneurs and businesses looking to raise over £20,000 to fund growth to hear from, meet and network with funders (banks, angels/VC’s).

The  Delegates  at the London Funding Conference will:

* Hear from the banks, the VCs and angels what they are looking for
* Hear from lawyers about the pitfalls to avoid
* Hear from Capital Enterprise (i.e., me) about publicly funded support available for potential high growth businesses in London.
* Meet the key players
* Meet other fast growing businesses also raising finance

This event is designed to help existing fast-growing businesses understand what is required to attract loan or equity investment to finance their further growth. It will also provide the opportunity for delegates to meet a number of the key players and other high growth businesses.

The conference will feature short presentations and Q&A sessions with the following key speakers:

Carl McNeice Head, of Commercial Products at HSBC: How to secure bank funding
William Dawson, Amadeus Capital: What are VCs looking for?
Paul Grant, The Funding Game: What are Angels looking for?
John Spindler, Capital Enterprise: What publicly funded support is available for London’s growing businesses?
Simon Littlewood, Gateway to Investment: Accelerating and sustaining growth
William Robins, Keystone Law: Legal pitfalls to avoid on funding

The presentations will be followed by meeting and networking with the speakers over wine and nibbles.

Where and when?
