Boost your funding knowledge with support from our partner Capitalise

Research by the capital advisory platform, Capitalise.com, has shown that when it comes to applying for funding, an SME is four times more likely to be successful when partnering with an accountant rather than going at it alone. Having a deeper understanding of the usually complex funding market enables you to support your clients further and strengthens your relationship. They'll seek your counsel as a trusted adviser.

As an ACCA member, you now have access to Capitalise's CPD certified Learn courses. They will help deepen your knowledge and confidence around funding whilst giving you important insight into how lenders and banks work, putting you in the best position to support clients around their broader needs. 

The two courses are: 

• Core – Here you’ll gain an introduction to funding, the changing role of the bank manager, an overview of the funding market, and insight on compliance and your new role (approx. 1 1/2 hours CPD)
• Adviser – Next, you’ll learn how banks approach lending, how to have confident conversations with clients and take a closer look at the different types of funding available (approx. 3 hours CPD)

Each course has its own certification, is designed in bite-sized chunks that can be done in one go or across different sessions and includes a range of documents and links to help support you further.  

You can access these courses directly on the Capitalise website.
