Description

It wasn’t long ago that “raising capital” meant a trip down to the local Bank of Ireland or AIB. That’s simply how Irish businesses were financed. And for a long time, that suited everyone just fine.

But the world is different today. 

Today, the evolution of Irish capital markets continues at pace, with new players and new forms of capital entering the market seemingly every day.

This is good news for Irish SMEs seeking to raise funds to expand a business, acquire a competitor, or de-risk a closely held company by “taking money off the table”.

Key Capital’s Jonathan Dalton and Tero Tiilikainen will outline the various forms of capital on offer to Irish SMEs today – from non-bank debt to private equity, and everything in between – and provide valuable insight into how best to navigate the new financial landscape.

This event is ‘Free of Charge’ for Shannon Chamber member companies

Registration from 7.40am
