Are you an ambitious Tees Valley business owner who is looking to grow?

DigitalCity is running a short Investor Readiness programme starting Wednesday 16 June 2021 to help demystify and prepare for potential investment, whether that be now or in the future.

Across three, peer-to-peer online workshops you’ll gain an invaluable insight into what makes a business investable and how you can become investment ready.

Joined in delivery by financial experts, Edale, you’ll learn alongside likeminded peers as we explore a range of key areas including:

• Different investment products, models and structures including their advantages and disadvantages
• The importance of market, value proposition and communicating them to an investor audience
• Legal requirements and what to consider both legally and commercially
• Financial models, valuations and pitfalls
• Developing pipeline and sales forecasts and effectively communicating these to your audience
• Team needs and requirements
• How to articulate the investor proposition and return on investment
• What a pitch deck should include and how business owners should present it

The fourth and final session will provide the opportunity to practice your investment pitch and receive valuable feedback and ideas from your peers and mentors.

Businesses also receive a one-to-one mentoring session with course leaders to discuss individual needs in more detail.

The programme is FREE to eligible* Tees Valley-based businesses.
