Event Details

If business loans are not of interest or available for your efforts, you may need to find alternative sources of funding to get your business off the ground. In recent tough economic times, crowd-funding has become a popular and an alternative method of raising finance for a business, project, or idea from a number of backers and has been popularized by multiple websites. Apart from the advantage of raising your own capital, a benefit of crowd-funding is that it also creates a strong network of support for your business. Join us to learn more about this method of funding your business.
