Preparation for Raising Capital

There is not an investment banker that will even consider looking at your deal unless you have three things:

  1. Executive Summary

  2. Business Plan

  3. Power Point presentation

The first thing an investment banker will want to read is your Executive Summary. However, this is the last document you prepare after you have written your Business Plan. In essence an Executive Summary is a condensed two page version (plus a third page with resumes) that gives a potential investor a “snapshot” of your company, product and business model.

The Executive Summary should clearly describe what your company does in the first paragraph. If you can not peak a prospective investor’s interest or he does not understand what business you are in the first paragraph your Executive Summary will end up in the circular file. (waste basket)
