The Black Country Local Enterprise
Partnership’s series of Open Access to Finance Forums will visit Sandwell on
Tuesday January 17.
The
forum follows hugely successful events in Dudley, Wolverhampton and Walsall,
which led to around 100 small businesses receiving advice and support and
accessing funding.
The events are supported by the Black Country local
authorities and organised by the Black Country Reinvestment Society. The
Sandwell event will be held at Sandwell Council House in Freeth Street, Oldbury
from 1.15 to 3pm.
Financial bodies exhibiting and
offering support at the events include commercial banks, corporate financiers,
law firms, business and financial advisors, small business loan funds,
accountants and business schools.
As a result of the three events held in recent months a
total of 99 small firms in the area have received advice on accessing finance
to support their business.
The first event in Dudley in September attracted 44 local
businesses while a further 21 companies received support at the event in
Wolverhampton during October. And during November 34 Black Country firms turned
out at the Walsall event to get direct access to financial organisations
exhibiting at the event.
All businesses are welcome to attend the free event and can
