Business people can get impartial advice on obtaining finance at a free to attend breakfast organised by Cheshire East Council.
The event, held in conjunction with Business Finance Solutions, is on Thursday, October 23rd, at Alderley Park Conference Centre, starting at 7.45am.
Councillor Michael Jones, Cheshire East's Council Leader, will welcome delegates and there will be a keynote speech on the economy from John Young, North West agent for the Bank of England.
They will be followed by presentations and Q&A sessions with David Martin of Business Finance Solutions and John Moore of Access to Finance, who will outline what financial products are available and how they help businesses apply for them.
Councillor Jones said: "Although there are a growing number of financial assistance packages available it can be difficult for a business to navigate the different providers and decide on the best solution.
"Cheshire East has organised this event to ensure that our businesses have access to the best impartial advice and guidance possible and can develop and grow to their full potential."
There will also be an opportunity to comment on how Cheshire East proposes to spend its budget in 2015/16 and delegates will be able to visit the home of the new biohub development at Alderley Park, which is set to become a national centre of excellence for the life sciences sector.

Free to attend breakfasts- can CE tax payers just pop in and comment on how CEC proposes to spend OUR budget in 2015/16?
Or wait, has it? Actually, of course, it doesn't matter where Lyme Green's appalling abuse of the residents of Cheshire East is buried. The people will never forget how they were ripped off and excluded from the truth.
