BusinessDesk has partnered with Prospa, small business lending specialists, to host a webinar series that explores topics considered to be a challenge for small business owners. 

The second of three webinars will kick off here on Monday, 1 Aug, at midday.

Join BusinessDesk's investments editor, Frances Cook, who will be speaking with Ben Goodale, CEO at Quantum Jump, and Mike Hutcheson, business advisor, creative consultant, and former managing director of Saatchi & Saatchi, to take an informative look at how small businesses can improve marketing strategies. 

The interview will be followed by a Q&A chat session that will remain live for two weeks while the top questions will go into the draw to win a 1 year’s subscription to BusinessDesk.

Please register for the webinar to be notified when it’s live and watch at a time that is convenient for you.


Prospa’s Line of Credit has now launched to offer a convenient and flexible source of funds of up to $150,000 over a 24-month term. 

During the first webinar, host Frances Cook and her two guests discussed ways for small businesses to do better HR. You can read more about what was said here or watch the video below:

The new product is the perfect solution for small businesses seeking to cover cashflow gaps that may occur unexpectedly. The ongoing access to funds allows business owners to draw down on the Line of Credit so they can pay staff, buy stock, or manage late payments. The loans have a renewable 24-month term, with interest-only paid when the funds are used by the business.

The application process takes as little as 10 minutes, with fast decisions to make funding available within 24 hours of approval.
