POWERED BY ROMA FINANCE

You're in the room if you recognise any of these:

- A deal you passed on because you couldn't fund it alone

- A JV you would do again, and one you would not

- A company you could buy, if you knew how to value and fund it

- An exit you have not planned for

Adam Lawrence and Rod Turner:

- 1000+ UK property deals between them

- Eight figures of joint-venture funding deployed, portfolios they still hold.

A capped room, with Roma Finance in it all day while we work through debt, equity and personal guarantees.

12 VIP seats, 2 remaining. Dinner with Rod, Adam and Roma Finance after the workshop.
