Someone once told me to always know the numbers
1.Have a balance sheet, profit and loss statement and cash flow for the years that have passed and for at least the next year to three years (your projections). : *
2.Know what those numbers mean and discuss them. Be able to explain how you got to your projections and how the funds you are asking for will enable you to reach these projections. : *
3.Your investor wants to know how they get paid back, tell them: *
4.Tell your investor where they fit in the Capital structure—are you looking for a loan (debt) or someone to take a piece of your company(equity): *
5.Please explain how the cash flows for your business. For ex. 45% of my payments are in the form of cash; the remainder is in credit cards and they pay me in 3 days. From there I pay these suppliers and have this much left. Or I bring in my product from China, I pay upfront and it takes 45 days for me to get the product and then 30 days to get paid from my customer, so I’m looking for financing to cover 75 + days of cash.: *
