How to Prepare Investor Ready Financials
Fundraising? Make sure your financial setup gets you a term sheet, not a time bomb.
From investor reporting to R&D tax credits, finance can make or break your next round—without you even noticing.
Whether you’re preparing for your first raise or knee-deep in Series A, getting your numbers investor-ready is essential.
From forecasting and compliance to structuring your EIS and making the most of tax reliefs, this session will give you the tools to spot financial red flags before your investors do.
If you’re raising—or planning to—this masterclass is for you.
