VALUING a business was the most popular topic in an online forum held by BizGrowthEast, a campaign for entrepreneurs in the region from the East of England Development Agency (EEDA).

Annabel Grant of EEDA’s Access to Finance team told Peterborough Business: “The launch event for BizGrowthEast revealed that gaining access to finance was considered by the entrepreneurs present as the most significant challenge they face. It is therefore very important that if businesses are going down this route, or need to sell their business in the current economic environment, they are well prepared.”
