About this event
Our next Working Capital Forum webinar is aimed directly at anyone charged with freeing up cash and delivering working capital improvements - fast.
Whether the cause is preparing for tariffs, trade headwinds, a planned acquisition, paying off debt, or a dash for growth, sometimes the pressure is on to release cash as quickly as possible.
We’re delighted to welcome our partner, GSCF, along with consultancy Alvarez & Marsal, to explore some of the fastest routes to working capital success for situations where freeing up cash quickly is vital. We’ll cover processes, people and platforms as well as financing options and how ‘connected capital’ can help. By the end, you’ll have a roadmap for your own accelerated working capital journey.
