Synopsis
No matter your stage of growth – launching a start-up or expanding an established practice – access to the right funding is critical. But funding is never one-size-fits-all. This session will explore how to identify the best finance options for your needs, understand what lenders are really looking for, and prepare a compelling application to secure investment. Drawing on over 30 years’ experience in healthcare finance, Medifinance’s Ray will be joined by Nigel, former Head of Healthcare at RBS/NatWest, alongside Kate who will share her real-world start-up funding story – the numbers, the challenges, and the lessons learned.
