Growing Your China Business via Alternative Capital – Halifax, NS
This event was SOLD OUT.
CCBC Cross-Canada Outreach Events – June 2017
~~ Halifax ~~
Alternative capital has become an increasingly necessary source of business financing. A common and significant issue faced by SMEs is one where their China growth strategy outpaces the assets they need to secure traditional bank financing.
CCBC’s Cross-Canada Outreach Events focused on alternative capital for small and medium-sized companies. The events featured guests from CCBC’s network of finance experts and others who led participants toward a clearer understanding of the opportunities available using alternative capital, and the best methods of pursuing and implementing them.
