Finance Fundamentals For Business

A half-day course to put some FUN into the fundamentals of business finance!

• Managers and business leaders who have (or will in the future) responsibility for managing some costs.
• Non-financial advisors who talk to businesses about business plans and prepare justifications for funding or grants, and so need to understand the fundamentals of where the relevant information is found.
• Anyone involved in managing costs and predicting the future development of those costs
