Becoming Investment Ready
To achieve Investment Readiness a company should have a clear and objective view of the funding requirement for the business. This will include producing financial projections setting out the monthly revenues and costs you expect to achieve and incur.
The next step is financial design which includes:
- understanding the various funding types and their requirements
- reviewing the business proposition against funding types to establish which type is appropriate, taking into account the stage of business development, your objectives, your achievements to date and the purpose of your funding requirement
- preparing a plan and financial projections for the appropriate audience, following the rules for each finance type sought
to review your business plan and projections, provide guidance on the most appropriate source(s) of finance, proposed changes to the plan and projections to maximise your chances of success.
