Course Summary

This leading edge GLOMACS Entrepreneurial Finance training course will take you to the place where the messy and exciting world of entrepreneurship and business innovation meets the well organised and no-nonsense world of investors, capital markets and financial analysts. These two worlds could hardly be more different and to the entrepreneur the highly disciplined world of finance may seem unattractive. But in today’s world, where competition is fierce for both customers and capital, the success of any venture depends not only on a source of good ideas, it relies on access to financial investors prepared to take a calculated risk on the entrepreneur’s dreams.

This leading-edge course provides an essential practical briefing for the non-financial entrepreneur and business manager, as well as an invaluable refresher for finance professionals, into the methodology, skills and techniques involved in capital financing, business investment decision making and shareholder value management.

This training course will highlight:

  • The essentials of business strategy and entrepreneurship
  • The structure and meaning of financial reports
