The Cayman Islands Centre for Business Development (CICBD) will launch a series of discussion forums around the raising of capital for micro and small businesses.
Tamara Ebanks, Acting Chief Officer of the Ministry of Investment, Innovation & Social Development said building resilience in small businesses is a key priority of government.
The information events for local entrepreneurs are part of the centre’s priority to help create an enabling business environment for start-ups and small businesses.
Althea West-Myers, director of the CICBD, said that the purpose of the forum is to highlight existing options for accessing financing. Panelists at this series of events will include representatives from the banking sector, private investor groups, government, and small business owners with a track record of success.
The oobjectives of the Raising Capital Forum are to discuss the funding needs of small businesses and provide information on available financing options, as well as the requirements and expectations of potential investors or funders.
This first discussion will focus on the question, “What makes a small business fundable?” and is scheduled for Thursday, 23 June, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort.
The events will be open to the public. Anyone in attending may contact the centre via its website, http://www.CICBD.gov.ky for further information.
