Show us the money! Exploring finance opportunities for growing the Humber’s SMEs

Are you looking to grow and diversify your business?

Are you unsure about the best finance options available?

Are you making the most of funding or just don’t know where to start?

According to the British Business Bank’s recently published Finance Market Report 23/24 the funding challenge is greater than ever particularly for businesses based in Yorkshire and Humber, which is affecting the region’s ability to grow its economy, take advantage of new industries and increase job numbers.

With Devolution fast approaching, it is time to ensure that our businesses are well-informed, supported and equipped to deploy their know-how and expertise, to support each other and build a strong future for the region through good collaboration.

That is why the University of Hull is partnering with the British Business Bank to bring you an informative discussion and debate to discuss the challenges and bust some of the myths that gives business finance a bad name. The panel will explore why the Humber’s great businesses are not exploiting the different finance options available to them.

Join us for a light breakfast and networking and to hear from our experts about how you can drive the region’s economy for the future. You will gain valuable insights from authentic testimonies from investors and founders as they share their successes, setbacks, and lessons learned throughout their business journeys, offering invaluable knowledge on resilience and growth. We would love audience participation and there will be opportunities throughout the discussion to ask your questions.

Following the panel discussion there will be the opportunity to network and chat one-on-one with business support advisors from the University of Hull, investors and businesses.
