Access to Alternative Finance
Join River Capital, GC Business Finance & TBC for an insightful panel discussion on accessing growth capital for businesses across Manchester and the North West.
The session will explore funding opportunities across three key investment tiers: early-stage funding from £25,000 to £100,000, growth capital between £100,000 to £500,000 and larger-scale financing above £500,000 through institutional investment and debt financing options.
The event brings together experienced investment managers Chris Carter and Alison Darkes who will share insights on the current funding landscape, discuss alternative financing options beyond traditional banking, and outline application processes and eligibility criteria.
