A NATIONAL crowdlending masterclass is coming to Somerset to provide businesses with an introduction to crowd financing and its benefits.

Organised by Somerset Chamber of Commerce, the event is part of a national programme of classes and is open to members and non-members.

Somerset Chamber chief executive Neil Murphy said: “Crowdlending is becoming an increasingly popular route to finance for many businesses, enabling them to raise money through the internet to finance or refinance their activities. It brings together individuals looking for a return on their investment with businesses that need finance at a sensible price.”

The event is on March 11 at Cleve Hotel, Wellington – for details/booking visit the events section of somerset-chamber.co.uk
