Understanding and Accessing Finance Webinar

In partnership with Business Link Pacific (BLP), PTI Australia is hosting a free webinar on finance terminology.
About this event
Through feedback from operators throughout the Blue Pacific, we understand that small-medium enterprises (SMEs) often struggle to access finance and understand the jargon-filled terminology used by banks and other lenders.

In partnership with Business Link Pacific (BLP), PTI Australia is hosting a free webinar on finance terminology, while discussing both debt and equity financing for SMEs across the Blue Pacific.

The workshop will be delivered as a Q&A guided by BLP’s Professional Development Advisor, Barbara Wilkinson, featuring BLP’s banking specialist, Richard Busby, as well as case study guest, Susann Wigmore, owner of Kaireva Beach House.

The session will discuss what banks and other financial institutions look for when assessing loan applications and outline where SMEs can go to access finance. The webinar will also cover the support BLP provides SMEs in overcoming what is often the most significant challenge in business – accessing finance.
