Obtaining the right type and level of finance at the right time in your growth cycle can be transformative.
In this session, the first in a series of six from OxLEP’s eScalate programmme, Richard Holling will be providing an essential overview of the finance marketplace, including banks and alternative lenders.
Richard will be talking us through:
determining our business finance requirements
the various finance options available, and the benefits and drawbacks of each
whether to go direct to lenders or work through a broker, together with the questions to ask and how to ensure we are charged correctly
how to optimally prepare our application and the key information lenders demand
