financials • Summarise your trading history to date • Provide realistic projections for 3-5 years (graphs are good), • What are your key financial assumptions? • These numbers must match any numbers stated previously on the slides. (Investors are very astute and will analyse numbers in depth.)
Investment – How much money do you need? • How much are you seeking ($)? • How will the investment be used and how long will it last? • Are you asking the investor for anything else? • What equity is for sale (%age) and is your current valuation (be prepared to be negotiated down)? • How will the investor get their returns?
