This month we were delighted to host another successful workshop in Invest in Harborough’s Let’s Talk Business series.
Our resident expert, Alex Austin of Paddock Capital, led an insightful session on “Raising the Right Finance & Navigating the UK SME Funding Landscape”, helping local business owners better understand the lending landscape and how to prepare for funding applications. The workshop saw a great turnout, with attendees exploring available funding options, improving their funding readiness, and taking part in engaging, interactive discussions to prepare their approach.
Adding to the excitement, Paddock Capital has recently celebrated a significant milestone, surpassing £10 million in funding sourced for UK businesses through its mission-led approach to matching businesses with the right finance solutions.
