Advice on how to write your business plan - investor presentation; template for funding your business idea
There is no shortage of products, tools and advice on this subject. However, if you are looking for investors, there is nothing simple about it. Given the competitive nature of the process, you will be lucky if you are able to get the external financing you need.
Potential investors ask a lot of questions. Often they are meant to provoke and challenge your assumptions in order to learn more about you and your business idea. If they appear cautious and skeptical, they should be. It takes a long time and a lot of work to accumulate the money you want them to invest -- especially since you are asking them to invest in something where they should know (especially if they are an accredited investor) that they could lose all of their money.
The presentation to the left gives you an overview of what those questions are likely to be and some indication as to why they are being asked. Its purpose is to prepare you in order to give you the best shot at giving the good solid answers you need to provide -- at the moment they are asked, which in turn will give you the best chance to get funded.
RISK MANAGEMENT -- For the Start-up Entrepreneur To be a successful entrepreneur, you need to put your heart and soul into it. So that you don't screw up your life when you do, you need to know as soon as possible that the numbers work. It is important to avoid dedicating yourself to something that does not financially make sense. Coffee Break Financials gives you a quick and thorough big-picture analysis of what you are getting into, and gives you the results in a form you can show others to get their opinion as to the viability or gauge their appetite to potentially invest.
