Moody’s Foundation and WEConnect International are pleased to offer a virtual capacity building program for a select group of women business owners in Australia and New Zealand. The Boot Camp will take place over the course of two days on Thursday 22nd July and Thursday 29th July.  Applying to and attending the training program is FREE.

The training program targets growth-oriented women-owned businesses who are looking to scale their enterprises and require additional capital to grow. The two-day training program will cover the following topics:

How to Build Creditworthiness
This section will dive into the concept of creditworthiness—what it is, why it is important, and how to build it. Business owners will learn about what lenders look for in accounting systems and how frequently and accurately those systems produce financial statements consisting of an income statement and a balance sheet.
 
Determining Capital Requirements
Based off a basic capital plan developed, this section will help business owners identify their specific capital requirements for growth and assess if they are or are not adequately capitalized to achieve their goals. Business owners will learn how to further build out their capital plan, identify ways to increase their creditworthiness, and increase their ability to attract cash into their business.

Preparing your Company for Capital Input
This final section will help business owners identify the steps they need to take to prepare their company to receive capital in any form. Business owners will understand how and what resources are available to become due diligence ready.
