About Find Your Perfect Match: Tees Valley Finance & Funding Workshop

 

Have you found “the one” yet? Finding the right investor or funding match can make things click for your business. If you’re ready to scale up and grow, you’re going to need the right finance or funding partner to help you get there. Join British Business Bank, Tees Valley Business, Grow Tees Valley, and CPI on 14th February for a comprehensive introduction to the local finance and funding landscape.  

 An expert-led workshop with Jordan Dargue will bring you up to speed on key topics, including: 

  • Accessing Funding and Grants 
  • The Current funding landscape – what is available and what is appropriate for you 
  • What investors are looking for – understanding the investor mindset 

Middlesbrough-based Press On Vinyl will talk you through their journey, having secured finance and funding to the tune of £1.4 million to open the doors to its new vinyl record manufacturing plant.  

You will also hear an economic update from Darlington Borough Council leaders on the exciting developments taking place in the town and their impact for businesses in the Tees Valley.  

Finally, you will have the opportunity to network with funding providers, including FW Capital, Mercia and BEF, along with other local support organisations who can provide wrap-around support as you embark on your funding journey.  

This event is free to attend for businesses in the Tees Valley, with breakfast and refreshments provided. 

Location: CPI, The Nigel Perry Building, 1 Union Square, Central Park, Darlington, DL1 1GL
