Event Description

Have you ever applied for business finance, a grant, investment or a loan and received a rejection with little or no explanation?

You may have been told:

“You do not meet our criteria.”
“Unfortunately, we are unable to proceed.”
“Your application was unsuccessful.”
“You did not pass our credit assessment.”

Or, in many cases, you simply never heard back.

But what actually happened behind the scenes?

This Masterclass is designed to explain how modern funding decisions are really made.

Banks, alternative lenders, grant providers and investors increasingly use data, algorithms, automated underwriting systems, credit databases, eligibility filters and internal scoring models to determine which opportunities progress.

The problem is that most applicants do not know what information these systems are looking at.

This Masterclass opens the black box.

Participants will learn what funders can see, what they analyse, what may trigger an automatic decline, and how to become more Finance & Investment Ready before submitting an application.
