About this event
Session five of the NatWest Funding Accelerator's six-part series, and the one about the numbers: which financial and trigger metrics make a business fundable, how to present them to an investor or a lender, how to forecast cash flow, and what to change to improve the picture before you ask. Interactive rather than lecture-style, and you can attend it on its own.
Welcome from 9:30, workshop 10:00 to 12:00, break to 12:30. Entrepreneurs and finance experts lead it; speaker bios were still to follow at the time of writing. Free, at the NatWest Accelerator hub, 2 Avon Street, BS2 0PT. You are asked to download the Accelerator app and apply to join the Funding Group first. General information only, not individual financial advice, and photographs are taken for social media.
Why go: worth it if you are raising for the first time and your model has never been read by someone who lends for a living. Founders past a priced round will find it basic.
