Are
you concerned about not having enough capital to grow your business?
Are
you adequately prepared to seek capital whether it is in the form
of debt or equity?
•
Do you have a well thought-out business plan?
• Do you have realistic financial projections?
• A realistic timetable for growing a successful company?
• Do you have an elevator pitch?
• A clear, succinct investor presentation?
• An executive summary that will convince investors to
invest in your business?
Waiting until the last minute is not realistic if you expect to
raise money quickly. In most cases, the planning should start
a minimum of six months in advance of when the funding is needed,
and in most cases, a year.
