EVENT:
HOW TO RAISE £3M WITHOUT SELLING ANY SHARES!
Give us a couple of hours of your time and get the inside
knowledge you need.
Monday 3rd March 2008 - 4:00pm - 7.00pm, London
Are you reluctant to share any more of your equity with
new investors? Do actually need to share your equity with
anyone new? Do you want to understand why global corporates
want to form valuable partnerships with you? Have you considered
other sources of finance - whether it is borrowing significant
amounts from a bank or pulling down millions from public
funding sources?
You are probably already trading strongly and know that
with additional investment your growth will become explosive.
If so, this is the perfect event for you.
We have brought together four experts. Not only will they
give you the answers to your questions. They are also the
people who can actually make the deal happen.
