Small businesses are being given the opportunity to gain helpful advice from financial experts on how they can best weather the finance crisis with the May Money Expo – How to fund your business in 2009 hosted by not-for-profit group, the Finance & Treasury Association.
The expo will provide small businesses with access to vital funding advice and strategies to recession-proof their business, along with timely advice on the Federal Budget and how to find alternative sources of capital.
According to Judy Hartcher, CEO of the Finance & Treasury Association, in the current climate funding will become tight and small businesses will suffer.
“The harsh reality is some small businesses will not survive the economic downturn. However, with the right advice and planning now, small businesses will be in a much better position to weather the storm,” Ms Hartcher said.
The information sessions as part of the expo will cover topics such as marketing, managing your employment costs, cash flow and trade finance, how to approach angel investors, tips for pitching for business, getting help from government and finding extra cash within a business.
The expo is supported by NSW Department of State and Regional Development and the Victorian Government’s Small Business Victoria, as well as CPA Australia.
