Getting Investor Ready
The cardinal rule is to get investor ready before you see an investor. What if Jacoline Loewen told you that those business owners who took the trouble to answer a few questions - four exactly - are the ones who attract the money for growth?
If you are interested in raising capital, you will have to face the investor. If you knew you had answered his concerns to the best of your ability, that your plan and presentation had covered all the bases, that the investor was thinking, “Gee whiz, this person is well prepared. He's capable of taking my money and growing it into something worthwhile.” Wouldn't that be easier?
Drawing on her insider's knowledge of private equity investors and venture capitalists, Jacoline Loewen takes you through these four brutal questions that the smartest business owners are prepared to answer when facing investors.
Raising Capital – What the Investor Wants From You
The new business reality is that no matter what your size of business, you can find private equity, but those who figure out the investor requirements and how the process works will be far more successful in accessing the best venture capital and private equity.
What does the Secret Investor Toolkit look like that helps the people with money decide where to invest? Some people say the Ouija-board approach works well, but those smart business owners who know what the investor will be assessing, can prepare. To get inside the headspace of a hyper-intellectual and choosy Private Equity and Venture Capitalist (VC) investor, Jacoline Loewen tells us who they are, what their issues are and what motivates them to invest their cash in your business.
