 our Business – Ideas On Tap attract an audience of over 100 registered bus
 inesses and investors. With an international reputation for training and e
 ntertaining companies\, Bill Gibson International Ltd provides a platform 
 that gives value to the attendees and develops skills for raising capital 
 in challenging times.\n\nAt a moment in South African economics\, when fun
 ds should be more available to small businesses\, every entrepreneur still
  doesn’t understand how to access funds. Financing Your Business gives ind
 ividuals a chance to “learn” from the introduction speech on how to raise 
 money\, as well as gives them invaluable exposure to 3-5 venture capitalis
 ts and an audience of piers for pitching their ideas and businesses for fi
 nance.\n\nWith over 2 years of successful events\, and various tombstones 
 achieved for financing companies in Johannesburg\, this go to market and r
 aise funds attitude is snowballing into an successful “matching engine” fo
 r companies and venture capital alike.\n\nWho attends?\n\n50% small busine
 ss and concept stage companies\n25% established business ideas looking for
  capital to expand\n15% service providers and individuals looking to start
  a business\n10% venture capitalists and or individual investors\n\nWith a
  consistent attendance of 60-75 individuals per event\, and registration a
 s much as 150 people in some instances\, the live platform offers a face t
 o face real-time experience for companies and investors.\n\nIt is not abou
 t emailing investors or companies\, or advertising online solely\, busines
 s is still best done networking or in person. The platform on the meetup.c
