A recent business event focused on helping companies understand their finance options.

Organised by Xeinadin and NatWest, the event, held on Wednesday in Southampton, offered practical guidance for growth-focused businesses across the Solent region, with a particular focus on finance, funding and tax.

Emily Light, director at Xeinadin in Chandlers Ford, said: "There are encouraging signs for businesses across the South East, but growth itself creates financial decisions that need careful planning.

"For founders across the Solent, the challenge is understanding which route is appropriate for the business and making sure finance, tax and longer-term growth plans work together."
