Free workshop for Midlands businesses to take place next week
Ambitious West Midlands businesses seeking funding for growth are being invited to a free two-day investment readiness workshop.

The workshop will include presentations on:
Venture capital investment
Pitch decks and business plans
Types of debt
Grant funding
Employment law
Budgeting and forecasting
Marketing plans
Legal agreements in venture capital
Amongst the speakers will be Baljinder Kuller, founding director of The Supply Register, whose company has received two rounds of investments since attending a previous workshop.
Baljinder said, “We’re a living, breathing example of the benefits of venture capital. Working with Midven we have access to industry experts in a wide range of fields. I’d encourage anyone who is looking to move their business to the next level to attend. There’s nothing like first-hand experience from people who have been through the process.”
