We offer the service of meeting with an investor and there is a fee for doing that.We also give advice and information to help setup your business or direct you towards the help you need. Other companies charge for a lot of their advice in the form of seminars or pitches:We feel a more personal meeting and researching for yourself( with pointers!) is more informing. This groundwork will enable you to take more control over your business ideas and should help more with attracting a possible investor
The information you put in your short free listing needs to relay precisely what you are looking for and what you intend to do.
ex:- I am an animal therapist looking for start up funding or I am a jeweller looking for a business partner.
This information will help people searching for investment opportunities to decide whether they wish to investigate further by getting in touch with you.
Your idea is new to you but most ideas are not really unique. The successful ideas however are the ones that are sold in a different way having considered all the competitors. If you have the business plans that can take you forward with your idea, then it will be yours that is successful not someone else who stumbles across it and decides to imitate.
So it is your plans that an investor will be looking at and those are where you have to put your energies if you want to be a success.
Your initial idea in your short profile is the start. An investor, though, will be interested in the bigger picture, so your business plan is the key to them taking more than a passing interest.
Don't put this off thinking that you could get round to it when anyone shows interest. Do it straight away!
Look at all the information and advice you can get about writing a business plan and what needs to go in it. (See our 'information for entrepreneurs' page) Make sure that you are confident about where you want your business to be over the next 12 months, how you will generate sales etc.
Yes! The premise of this site is to allow those with ideas and those looking to invest to have a place to meet. Therefore if you are already in business and can prove your track record and how you want to take your business forward then you are obviously going to be an attractive proposition for some investors
