Finding the finance you need for your enterprise can be like learning to play chess for the first time - you have to know the moves before you understand how to win. When you know how the game is played securing investment is quicker and far cheaper.

Paul GRANT of The Funding Game was our host for this workshop on raising Funds to grow your business. Guest speaker is William ROBINS. The session is covered in two videos.
