Small Business in South East Queensland
If you’re running a small business in south east Queensland then this might interest you.
Small Business Minister Chris Cummins is encouraging Brisbane small business owners and operators to attend a one day workshop on Thursday the 11th May to learn about how to raise capital.
Mr Cummins said the Life’s a Pitch - Investee Workshop, presented in partnership with the Achaeus Group, would run from 8:15am to 4:30pm and cost $22.00, including lunch and morning and afternoon tea.
Mr Cummins said participants would learn how to:
* Structure a presentation to financiers and investors;
* Energise their presentation and bring alive their proposal;
* Develop trust: a key element of any successful presentation;
* Address key financier and investor concerns;
* Turn nervous energy into a positive driving force; and
* Employ ‘tricks of the trade’ that professionals use to deliver outstanding presentations.
“Small to medium business owners based in Brisbane who attend this workshop stand to gain a really practical insight into how to negotiate the deal that could make their business a major success,” Mr Cummins said.
“You can have the most amazing business plan and be acting on all the best advice but in the end the most critical part is selling that plan to a financier or investor so you can raise the money to make it happen.
“This workshop is all about presenting the perfect ‘million dollar’ pitch. If you’ve never had to do it before it can be a nerve-racking and draining experience.
“The right business plan will get you in the door but the presentation is what will get you the money.”
The ‘Life’s a Pitch - Investee Workshop’ is being held at the Brisbane State Development Centre, Level 21, 111 George Street, Brisbane.
