Only 5% of businesses seeking investment capital will actually secure it
Why? Because there’s a difference between recognising a need for capital and being ready to pursue it.
Committed to getting businesses funded, the aim of the Investor Ready Program is to rapidly cause Business Owners, CEO’s and Entrepreneurs who are seeking capital, or undertaking a listing or sale, to be both fully informed and fully prepared.
You know your business inside out – but how will sophisticated financiers, investors and potential acquirers view your business? What exactly are they interested in? How do they want information about your business presented to them? What matters are material to the investor? What risks are they looking out for?
Remember, you only get one chance to make a first impression.
With a transparent fixed fee pricing structure, the Investor Ready program can be delivered over a full day or two half days in a one-on-one setting. Alternatively the program can be delivered in a short session format. The program contains not only critical information but also practical preparation assistance. It will help participants:
- Better understand the transaction process and the investors point of view
- Help get the right investors interested, then captivate and compel them
- Allow you to communicate effectively to investors and explain your ideas, plan & financials succinctly and confidently
- Permit you to negotiate from a position of strength and inform the price discussion
- Secure better deal terms and a higher valuation
- Increase your overall chances of a successful outcome
- Reduce time, cost and distraction to your business
- Lower the risk of professional reputation damage
A word of caution: it is important to commence your Investor Ready Program as far in advance of seeking the investment, listing or trade sale as possible. Leaving it until the last minute will result in missed opportunities, distraction to your business, and a sub-optimal result.
