Finance Readiness Programme

Finance Readiness Programme

Are you looking for funding to start or grow your business?

Not every business needs venture capital or outside investors. In fact, many early-stage businesses are better suited to simpler, more affordable funding options.

This programme helps you understand the full range of funding available, beyond banks and venture capital, so you can choose what’s right for your business.

We start with the basics of financial planning and forecasting, including how AI tools can support you. Then we explore different funding options such as grants, community funding, crowdfunding, and newer models like blockchain finance. You’ll also learn about key legal and tax considerations, review real-life examples, and get step-by-step guidance on how to secure funding.

Throughout the programme, you’ll be part of a supportive peer group, with opportunities to practise your pitching and negotiation skills.
