New Capital and Investor Programme

Join our series of free webinars targeting how to develop business plans, interacting with investors, handling the investment process and building investor presentations.

No matter how great your product or business idea is – no matter how lean you are able to operate, more capital and financial leverage will almost inevitably be a necessity for most small and medium sized companies.

Securing an adequate capital base is therefore one of the most important tasks facing company leaders. Having the right capital base will – together with good capital allocation - help the company to grow profits and maximise shareholder returns.

Target Group

The courses are targeted towards entrepreneurs, CEO’s, CFO’s, Finance Managers, Business Developers and anyone working on scaling up their business.

The course modules can be taken separately, however we recommend to follow every module to not miss out on important elements to understand what gives a good overall process. The slides and all written material will be presented in English, but the lectures will be given in Norwegian.

The seminar series will introduce you to:

• how to write a good business plan
• how to scale and make growth plans for your company
• how to handle the investment process and collaborate with different categories of investors
• how to develop an investor presentation

Each module will be two hours and typically arranged as 2 * 45 minutes presentations followed by Q&A.
