About the event
Debt often gets a bad reputation. But borrowing isn’t necessarily a sign that a business is struggling. Used carefully, the right finance can give a business the capacity to invest, grow and take opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.
In this panel discussion, business owners and finance experts will explore the positive role that debt can play in a healthy business. We’ll look at when borrowing can make sense, what it can help you achieve and how businesses can use finance to invest in people, equipment, stock, premises, technology or growth without giving away equity.
Expect an honest conversation about the opportunities and risks of using debt, the difference between productive borrowing and debt that becomes a problem, and how to think about borrowing as part of a wider growth strategy.
Because debt isn’t always the problem. Sometimes, it’s the tool that helps you get where you want to go.
