Liverpool Gin have confirmed as one of the main sponsors of next week’s ‘Finding Finance’ event in association with The Epstein Theatre and Mind Your Own Business; providing a welcome drink for every attendee.

The event aims to assist local businesses in exploring the various ways to access funding and finance, and will bring together an experienced panel who will offer advice on traditional and alternative options to finance your business.

On arrival, guests can enjoy a glass of award-winning Liverpool Gin along with canapés provided by contemporary caterers, The Brink. There will be opportunities to network with like-minded businesses and individuals from around the region ahead of the panel discussion; and Rebekah Pichilingi and the team at The Epstein have kindly offered a glass of wine to anyone who wishes to stay and continue their conversation after the event.

The event itself will see a panel of professionals from across the city region offer advice and guidance to help SMEs understand what type of finance is best suited to them and how it can be secured.

The panel includes Mitchell Charlesworth, MSB Solicitors, MSIF, NatWest Banking Group and Reparo Finance, together with Texas originated CrowdBoarders.

Lead on the Mind Your Own Business series, Jennie Lewis said:

“We’re thrilled to have Liverpool Gin on board for next week’s event. This is a key event for businesses looking to share and grow, and we wanted to provide a unique and sociable environment in order to allow people to develop new relationships, whilst hearing from our panel.

“Liverpool Gin, of course, are a great example of a business that has identified a niche, honed their craft and grown their reputation in the city and beyond. I’m delighted that co-founder John O’Dowd will be joining us, and I am sure that many of the businesses attending would benefit from hearing his experiences too.”

As well as offering key networking opportunities before and after the event, attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of the financial support available to them, including business loans, grants, accessing savings, together with business angels and crowdfunding.

Jennie added:

“There are so many different types of funding available and so many ways of sourcing it, so it can sometimes be a complicated process to find what’s best for you individually. With that in mind, we are thrilled to have joined forces with the team at The Epstein Theatre to offer an event that we hope will have a positive and tangible impact on helping businesses move forward.

“We are extremely excited to welcome a panel of such high calibre professionals, who will be on hand to offer honest funding and finance advice and outline the systems that are currently in place.

“It is our aim that Finding Finance will not only help local SMEs obtain an in-depth understanding of the relevant funding that’s available to them, it will also enable them to develop clear and realistic strategies for growth.”

Finding Finance is set to take place from 4pm on Tuesday, June 30. For more information or to register your place, please contact jlewis@ybnews.co.uk or call 07875 206 363.
