FREE - Understanding Finance for Business Seminars
The Understanding Finance for Business seminars are aimed at people starting up in business or in their first 12 months of trading. The seminars are an intensive summary of all financial aspects, from the initial idea through to sourcing finance.
The seminars have been written purely with the delegate in mind and have been put together after identifying common areas of failure and misunderstanding by individuals and companies trading over the last 10 years. The purpose of the seminars is to give the attendee a factual understanding of the financial elements of running a business. Once the initial 3 seminars have been completed, the delegate should be ready to set up in the appropriate format, equipped to source the required finance, and informed sufficiently in order to avoid failure within the first 3 years of trading, other than through mitigating circumstances, or external factors. This will then lead in to a growth program for job creation though the strong foundations laid.The seminars give a brief on each of the following areas.
