These short webinars will :
· Help you understand how to consider whether social investment is right for you
· Look at what you need to be investment ready
· Learn about application procedures and ongoing reporting evaluation
· Hear more about additional support available
Whether you’re looking for investment to support infrastructure development, business growth, bridging loans or acquire an asset these sessions will point you in the right direction and help you make the connections you need to move forward.
Please check out our investment readiness tool which asks some big questions on the current status of key areas of your business. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your organisation is an essential step towards accessing social investment but also a good way to review some of your current processes and procedures.
