Raising finance and access to finance for small and medium-sized businesses is always a hot topic, and never more so than in these difficult and challenging times! Speakers for this event are drawn from leading organisations in the field of finance, and will share their knowledge and experience of the corporate finance market to offer advice on the different funding options available both nationally and locally here in the North West.
