Description

Make money work for your creativity, not your creativity work for money!

Money is important for business. Although it is often not the main source of motivation for many creative entrepreneurs, they realise how money can enable them to do more of what they like. Finance for entrepreneurship and start-ups is different from finance for established firms. It involves taking risk, making financial assumptions, preparing financial statements and putting it all to work for growing your business. In this course you will learn this through the following three topics:

• Financial statements – how to communicate financial information
• Access to finance – Sources of finance and stakeholder relationships
• Attracting investors – Strategies for growing with investors

Financial management is not only about relationships with suppliers and customers. Investors play a very important role to help start-ups grow. They bring in not only financial resources but also mentorship, expertise, market information, know-how, expertise and strategic partnerships. This is important to understand how money can work for our business to expand our creative potential, better than us working for money.
