About this event

Event Description:


8 out of 10 small businesses fail within their first 18 months, and one of the top reasons is poor financial planning and forecasting? Studies show that over 60% of business owners struggle with financial forecasting, making it difficult to qualify for loans, attract investors, or seize new growth opportunities. Many founders are dedicated and passionate, but without the right financial tools or advisors, they miss out on critical funding and stall their business growth.


Join us on July 18 for an in-depth session on Financial Forecasting and the Decision-Making Process—essential skills for any entrepreneur, founder, or business leader aiming to qualify for loans, attract venture capital, or secure investors.

In this interactive event, we’ll cover the fundamental elements every business owner and investor should know about financials and forecasting. You’ll learn how to build reliable financial projections, understand what lenders and investors look for, and use forecasting to make smarter, more confident decisions for your business.

Key topics include:

  • The basics of financial forecasting and why it matters
  • How to use forecasts to improve business performance and growth
  • What banks, VCs, and investors want to see in your numbers
  • Tips for making better financial decisions
  • Common mistakes to avoid and best practices to adopt

Whether you’re looking to secure funding or simply want to strengthen your business strategy, this event will provide actionable insights and practical advice to help you succeed.

Don’t miss this opportunity to network with fellow business leaders and gain the financial clarity you need to grow!
