COVID-19 SUPPORT SERIES: Negotiating with Your Bank

**MEMBERS ONLY EVENT **

This is the second in our series of COVID-19 Support Events which are FREE for WeDO Scotland members and will be taking place twice weekly in addition to our weekly Brainstorming meetings every Monday at 11am.

For some of our members, this will be the first time they find themselves in a situation of having to negotiate with their banks.  Since the financial crash, banks have become increasingly risk-averse and whilst the CBILS & CCFF support from the Government are deemed to be positive, some are finding it challenging to obtain the funding they require. 

We’re delighted to have Grant Docherty, Banking & Finance and Debt Restructuring Partner at Rooney Nimmo.  Our thanks to him for kindly giving his time and sharing his expertise with us which we know will be invaluable.
