No matter how much passion you have, or how great your product, your business will only get so far through self-funding. You might need money to scale up a concept you have already proven to take your vegan business to the next level, or you might need a sum of money to test out a new idea or product. From crowdfunding, to angel investing, to traditional lending, we will look at all the ways your business can secure finance. Our panel includes experts from all funding disciplines and those who have gone through funding rounds themselves, to show you the routes to finding funding for your vegan business and why a lack of funds might be the thing that is holding you back.
