What works for investors in growth companies (and what doesn't)

Why you should attend

This ‘Financing Entrepreneurship’ seminar – devised for those running, backing and advising growing businesses – sees three very experienced investors share their insights into what works (and what doesn’t).

The morning will look at:

• New times: when is equity finance the right move for growth companies in a very tough market?
• Good fit: what types of start-up businesses and SMEs are attracting venture and growth capital investment in 2012?
• In shape: how can entrepreneurs structure their businesses most effectively to be attractive high-quality equity backers?
• Under review: what are the key issues investors look for in due diligence?
• Team work: how should private shareholders and institutional investors complement each other?
• Way out: what are the typical – and atypical – exit aspirations of venture and PE investors?
• Top tips: How do you persuade financiers to say “yes”?
