Seminar
How do poor producers in developing countries obtain finance to grow their business? How can people in this country contribute towards producers’ business needs?
All businesses need credit in order to get established, develop and provide sufficient cash flow between an order being placed and payment for goods supplied. Even in the best of times businesses have to prove their credit worthiness in order to persuade financial institutions to lend to them.
The seminar will explore ways in which organizations in the UK are providing financial and other business support for Fairtrade producers and how individuals in the UK can get involved in the process. There will be speakers from Triodos Bank, Shared Interest and Traidcraft Exchange.
Come and hear some good news in this harsh economic climate.
