Join us for an interactive workshop designed to help discover the key financial metrics that make your business fundable.
About this Event

Whether you're preparing to pitch or simply want to get your financial house in order, this session will help you decode the numbers that investors care about. We’ll explore the key

financial and trigger metrics that demonstrate your business is fundable, how to forecast your cash flow with confidence, and what actions you can take to improve your financial position.

Through hands-on activities, expert insights, and real-world examples, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how to align your financials with your funding goals—and what steps to take

next.

This is session five of six in the NatWest Funding Accelerator series, but it stands alone as a powerful deep dive into the financials behind funding.

Why Attend?

• Learn how to present your financials in a way that builds funder confidence

• Understand the key metrics that signal business health and growth potential

• Get practical tools and actions to improve your financial performance

• Hear from entrepreneurs and experts who’ve successfully navigated the funding journey

• Connect with a community of like-minded founders and funding professionals

This is ideal for:

• Founders preparing to raise funding and wanting to build financial confidence

• Entrepreneurs unsure what financial information funders actually need

• Business owners looking to improve how they present financials to investors or lenders

• Startups aiming to understand key metrics that signal growth and fundability

Speaker Bios:

Hear real stories from founders and experts who’ve navigated the funding journey—what worked, what didn’t, and what they’ve learnt.
