Gloucestershire April 2026 Meeting 

How to Raise Money - Expert Panel 

Join us for a powerful expert panel focused on one of the biggest challenges in property, raising finance.

Whether you are just starting out or looking to scale your portfolio, this session will give you real, practical insight from professionals who live and breathe deals every day.

Our panel brings together four key perspectives you need to understand if you want to fund your projects successfully:

• A developer who actively raises money for deals, sharing how they structure opportunities, attract investors, and build trust
• An experienced investor who puts their own money into property, revealing what they look for, what makes them say yes, and the red flags that make them walk away
• A solicitor who will guide you through the legalities of using other people’s money, including how to protect yourself and stay compliant
• A broker who understands the full funding landscape, from bridging and development finance to creative strategies, helping you understand what’s actually possible in today’s market

This isn’t theory. It’s real-world insight designed to help you avoid costly mistakes, raise finance with confidence, and structure deals that work for everyone involved.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• How do I actually find investors
• What do investors really want
• How do I stay legally safe when using other people’s money
• What funding options are available right now

Then this is a session you do not want to miss.
