Vision+Media is set to run an event which aims to help creative companies secure capital for growth.

The Fast Company Programme 2 will take place next month, with its launch set to take place at Liverpool Software City later today.

Pembridge Partners will offer advice to creative companies on how to ensure that they are investible, while Steve Smith from Software City will also mentor companies and provide a link to the wider investment community in the north west region.

 The first Fast Company Programme 2 event will take place on 8 December at Vision + Media’s headquarters.

Paul Taylor, director of business delivery at Vision+Media, commented: “Access to capital for growth is a critical issue for all businesses but particularly for small businesses in this sector who are often much more at home in their own market than amongst the investment community. We designed this programme to help creative companies properly assess their need for capital, better understand the financial and investment community and how to access finance, and how to build value in their business, which is what investors are looking for.”
