The University of Central Lancashire has launched a free investor led Investment Readiness Programme, offering unique insights into what is needed to secure equity investment for your business.  Led by experienced investors, the programme helps SMEs raise venture capital and business angel investment by ensuring they are properly prepared and understand the process. The programme is funded by the European Regional Development Fund.

Whether you’re looking for first round investment or larger funding sources this programme will outline what equity investment opportunities are available and what different investors are looking for.
