Hundreds of the best of Britain's small business owners packed into a spectacular venue on the 13th floor of KPMG's HQ in London's Canary Wharf to meet 20 funders at our Show Me The Money event.

The atmosphere was electric as contacts were made and deals were done with banks, crowdfunders, peer-to-peer lenders, startup loan companies and more.

During the evening three entrepreneurs shared their stories about they raised millions of pounds in funding and what other business owners can learn. We broadcast their advice live on Periscope. You can replay it below.

Inge Dowden: How I helped a reflexology entrepreneur optimise her business

The Bristol-based business coach shares a very impressive story.

My motto in life and work is 'Meet people, make friends, and help them.' Getting to know people is the best way of finding out what makes them tick in terms of goals, ambitions, dreams, interests and life in general. I help people by listening to what they need, suggesting ideas, sending links, making introductions, adding value, and offering relevant products and services, where appropriate. When friends have a problem, I love to help them fix it.
My varied portfolio career means I have knowledge, experience and contacts in many fields. I am an expert in book publishing, media, mentoring, writing, editing, marketing, crowdfunding, sponsorship, social enterprise and commercial start-ups.
I'd love to get to know you better, so I can help you get to where you want to be.
