FACE-TO-FACE WORKSHOP

This event is part of Realise Business’ WOMEN’S BUSINESS series, supporting women to achieve growth by applying for grants and other funding opportunities. All are welcome!

Business finance can often be the forgotten elephant in the room. As small business owners, we are often driven by our passion for our products and service and what impact it has on our clients. But for our businesses to thrive in the long term – we need to have the financial skills to assess the financial implications and make critical business decisions.

This in-person workshop will introduce small business owners to business finance. It will help them establish a financial management framework, implement a cash culture and enhance the ability to interpret financial statements and calculate key financial ratios to monitor their business performance and achieve their business goals.

In this workshop, Access to Finance Advisor Judy Hendricks will cover business finance fundamentals on planning, recording, managing, funding, and tracking your business growth. You’ll learn essential financial concepts and practical tools to help you manage your business finances effectively and improve financial decision-making capabilities.
