Funding, Finance and Investment

Our Funding and Finance Masterclass covers the top dos and don'ts when it comes applying for funding and finance for your project.

Masterclasses

Do you need to secure funding to take your project forward? Is your business dependent on start-up funding?

Our Masterclasses go over some of the many forms of funding and how to source these. We discuss funding from friends and family, banks and finance, alternative sources including loans, crowdsourcing and more.

We also support with applications for funding from awards like the Santander Travel Award.
