businesses source new investment funding.<\/p>\n<p>The Access to Funding session is free to attend and will include expert advice on accessing funding from the British Business Bank, the operators of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund.<\/p>\n<p>There will also be case studies from three Cheshire East businesses who have sourced almost \u00a32 million in funding to fuel their growth.<\/p>\n<p>The three local businesses taking part are: My Digital Accounts, based in Wilmslow, who recently secured \u00a31.25m from the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund (NPIF); JS Bailey Cheese, based near Nantwich, who received \u00a3400,000 from the Rural Development Programme for England; and Alderley Analytical, based at Alderley Park, who received funding of \u00a3300,000 from the NPIF.<\/p>\n<p>Sue Barnard, senior manager for the British Business Bank in the North West, said: &#8220;Although there have never been more sources of funding available to businesses eager to grow, finding the right fit, in terms of compatibility or managing risk with a fund, can be complex.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This event has been designed to help showcase how different funds, including NPIF, can be used to source the optimum funding package to help drive growth for the region.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Councillor George Hayes, chairman of the Skills and Growth Company, said: &#8220;Helping businesses to grow is paramount to driving our economy and creating jobs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are delighted to showcase how three diverse local businesses have taken advantage of the investment available to grow and tell the story of their own individual funding journeys.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51225\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51225\" style=\"width: 600px\"
