Senior Managers from the British Business Bank will be hosting these events with fireside chats with leading debt finance providers and equity investors across the Midlands, who will be sharing their expertise, best practices and lessons learnt. The events are open to businesses looking to raise finance as well as advisers and the wider intermediary community supporting smaller businesses, with an opportunity to ask our expert panel questions during the webinars.
