Description
Raising Capital shows how to write a financing proposal to secure a business loan, venture capital, or a grant. It was written to save the entrepreneur thousands of dollars in professional writing fees. In addition to describing the essential components of a winning proposal and how to present them, the book contains six different examples to illustrate how it is done. Included are: a bank loan, a Prospectus for a public offering for a large company, a Prospectus for a public offering for a small company, a limited partnership circular, and two private placement circulars. Securing capital to finance or expand a business today requires a well-documented proposal, a strong personal commitment, and perseverance. Raising Capital is for the small business owner, entrepreneur, or would be entrepreneur who is searching for business financing. This book illustrates how to write a first class proposal that fully explains the business, its objectives, and its use of the loan, grant or investment proceeds. Raising Capital is packed with useful information and solid tips and advice used successfully to raise capital. It includes a chapter on developing a comprehensive business plan that will help business owners assess their company's goals and future. Once you have written and refined a proposal, the author explains how to present it to a wide range of prospective sources. Regardless of the strategy you choose to obtain startup or expansion financing, writing a good proposal is always the first step. Raising Capital simplifies the process and makes the assignment easier.
