How’s mad October? All the big issues up for debate at our Rainmakers Forum
As the corporate finance community anticipates the end of a subdued and uncertain period, the upcoming Rainmakers Forum in Manchester on the 8th of October will explore the challenge of becoming deal-ready for 2025.
Top of the agenda will be the flurry of deals being completed this month ahead of widely expected tax changes in the Budget.
These were also the subject of our long read yesterday on our Rainmakers platform where the frenzy of activity was likened to football’s transfer deadline day.
Catriona Lang and Nicola Merritt
Next week’s event will feature insights and contributions from the winners of the Rainmaker Awards – Nicola Merritt and Catriona Lang – the event will look ahead at where the deals are going to come from in the year ahead.
With a more stable policy landscape expected following the general election and some economic headwinds easing, the seminar will concentrate on several key areas:
- Current market demand and appetite
- Changing culture and practice in the Rainmakers community
- Funders’ primary areas of focus
- The increasing significance of factors beyond financials, especially ESG and data
- Opportunities within the North West market and Rainmakers’ role in driving growth
As well as the winning duo, the speaker line-up will also feature Giles Chesher from Squire Patton Boggs and Matt Hodgson from Claritas Tax.
