Why watch?
 
 
What are your financial options when starting out, and how do you convince investors to part with their cash? What do investors and banks look for and what don't they like to see? Our entrepreneurs and experts share their experiences in being accepted and rejected for finance and how it made them reassess their business propositions or, conversely, plough on.

Discover how Karen Darby persuaded venture capitalists to invest in SimplySwitch.com and the various regional criteria she had to comply with. Learn how she invested that money to grow the business into one of the UK’s leading price comparison services before selling it in a £22m deal. Learn how Ian Leslie has bought and sold varying businesses from property development to event management and how he has raised the cash for these ventures from many different sources.

Learn from the entrepreneurs as they reveal how they raised the money they needed to start and grow their businesses.
