Fundraising For Your Business
How you can find and apply for funding to help start and grow your business
We’re joined in the studio today by Gary Parker of CNT Associates, who specialise in helping women get funding for their business.
During the interview we ask the following questions:
What are the different types of funding?
The key factors you must consider before you apply for funding?
What do funders want from you and how can you demonstrate you’ve got what it takes?
Is there a real or perceived barrier for business women to get funding?
Plus a few specific examples of funding providers who work with women as well as some practical tips for getting started approaching potential funders.
We also discuss different types of business plan and introduce the concept of business mapping and where it fits in with your business plan.
As usual, your show host was Sian Murphy with Laura Lawrence and Jackie Groundsell.

KEY Takeaway
Before you seek funding, decide your WHY behind starting and running your business. If you’ve turned your passion and life’s mission into your business this probably won’t fit with the outcome an investor is after. The investor is probably looking for global growth to sell for a massive profit further down the line. This means you’ve lost control of your brand and your business. So decide now what you want to achieve and how your business fits into your life.
