Business Plan Tips

What will an Investor be looking for?

Investors want to know exactly what the business opportunity is, the amount of funding you are seeking, and most importantly, the rate of return on their investment. They need to know the financial risk associated with your proposal, the competition you will face, together with information about yourself, and how you intend to spend the finances raised.

Remember to make your proposal concise and easy to understand. Keep the text short an punch, and steer clear of overstating facts and figures; you can go into more detail once you’ve established contact with the interested investor.
