Close at Business North West

In November Manchester Central held the Annual Business North West Exhibition 2008, the region's premier business to business conference and exhibition event, which played host to over 170 cross sector businesses under one roof.

Close Invoice Finance exhibited a number of products including their innovative, online invoice discounting facility, IDeal^TM. Still unrivalled in the marketplace two years after launch, IDeal^TM was recently upgraded to include bad debt protection cover too (IDeal Protection Plus^TM). At the event, experts from Close Invoice Finance, including Commercial Director Peter Flynn, were on hand to answer queries on invoice finance and share insight on how to secure cash flow in a downturn.

It proved a great success as business owners, directors and entrepreneurs came together to share experiences and advice on operating in the current economic climate.
