Why this matters
The statistics speak volumes: 60% of businesses cite a lack of awareness as their biggest barrier to securing finance. Without expert guidance, many miss out on opportunities that could transform their operations. UMi’s webinars are designed to change that, breaking down the jargon and connecting businesses with the right funding options.
