Build smart with strong cash flow

More often, it’s a timing problem, a structure problem, or a funding problem that only becomes visible once a business starts to grow. And by that point, most owners are already carrying the pressure rather than getting ahead of it.

On Thursday 2nd July, A4G, The Finance Hub and Bibby Financial Services are co-hosting a panel discussion and focused, practical afternoon in Belgravia, London. Bringing together three different perspectives, this session explores one shared challenge: how to build businesses that don’t just grow, but stay financially in control while doing it.

Emma will explore why profitable businesses still run into cash pressure, and how structure, timing, and planning change that outcome.

This includes:

• Cash flow planning through different stages of growth
• Preparing for acquisitions without stretching liquidity
• Structuring decisions so funding supports strategy, not restricts it

, Bibby Financial Services

A practical look at how invoice finance is being used right now in construction-led and project-based businesses.

You’ll hear:

• Where invoice finance genuinely supports growth
• How businesses are using it to take on larger contracts
• What lenders are actually looking for in 2026

, The Finance Hub

A grounded view of how businesses are accessing funding today across traditional and alternative routes.

Expect:

• What’s changed in business lending over the last few years
• Why many businesses are moving away from bank-only relationships
• How to think about funding options more strategically

This will be a panel discussion, not a presentation series. There will be space throughout for questions to the panel, so please bring real scenarios, challenges, and decisions you’re currently facing in your business.

This event is sponsored by Federation of Master Builders.

• 3:00pm – Arrival and networking
• 3:45pm – Main discussion and speaker sessions
• 4:45pm – Drinks, networking, and informal conversation
• 6:00pm – Close

Food and drinks will be available throughout the afternoon.

At A4G, we work with owner-managed businesses every day that are trying to balance growth with control.

We’ve seen how quickly cash flow becomes the limiting factor, even in businesses that are fundamentally performing well.

This session brings together advisers, funders, and practitioners who see that reality from different angles, so business owners can make clearer, more confident decisions.
