In May I am presenting 4 live and FREE workshops designed specifically for SME’s, startups and scaleups.

These are all around the money side of your business.  Covering fundraising, grants, support programs and how to manage the money.  And when I have presented some of these in the past they have been fully booked, so if these are of interest to you, register early.

And as an added bonus if you want some one-on-one assistance after these workshops, I can probably provide this to you for free under the NSW Govt’s Business Connect Program.

The specific FREE workshops are:

FYI last time I presented this workshop it was fully booked, so make sure you register your spot early.

I attended Wayne’s “How to fund your business growth” last year with a number of other business owners. First, no workshops until I attended Wayne’s workshop had touched the basics as well as in-depth knowledge in funding types and opportunities.

Being an early-stage startup founder, even though you start fully bootstrapped in the beginning, it is so important that you receive the right guideline from the right person at the right time. By doing so, you are aware of the possible pathways you may be able to take in the later stage of your startup without going astray”. Linda K

“My business partner and I attended Wayne’s “Grants and Support Programs for Small Business” workshop and found his depth of expertise and clear, actionable guidance invaluable. He broke down complex grant criteria into simple steps, offered practical tips on both competitive and non‑competitive programs, and tailored his advice to our needs. His engaging style and real‑world examples felt like a one‑on‑one consultancy. I wholeheartedly recommend Wayne Wanders to any small business owner seeking expert support and lasting results” Vincent L

Interestingly, this is probably the most important of the 4 workshops I am presenting in May, but as it is not as sexy as grants or fund raising, many skip this one.  But there is no point getting the grant or the fundraising, if you can’t manage the cash properly and you burn this cash before you should

I look forward to seeing you at one of these workshops.
