Since 2017, Beauty & Money has connected over 500 independent beauty brands with the leading financial and strategic buyers.

However, building a successful business isn’t just about raising capital, it’s also about how you spend it.

This year, we have expanded the scope around the key areas in which building the right relationships can really help to drive a brand forward.

Our ‘Secret to Success’ series will concentrate on overcoming some of the reasons why start-ups fail and brands don’t scale, with priceless advice from some of the best in the industry.

Speaking of advice, we’re also bringing our Mentorship Programme to New York for 2019, an initiative to connect the next generation of beauty entrepreneurs with guidance from some of the top movers and shakers in the business.
