LOOKING TO RAISE MONEY?
I work with entrepreneurs. There is no shortage of great ideas and vision when we are talking about the ‘art of the possible’. This is often followed by an ‘if only’ statement - if only I had £50,000 I could make a go of it, if only my parents would remortgage the house, I can’t understand why they don’t believe in me, the list goes on.
For some types of business, investment is an important part of the equation, but it is not the only way to get a business off the ground. There are your own resources, other revenue streams, partnerships, joint ventures, all of which can provide you with sources of working capital to get started, and best of all, focusing on profitability over accelerating growth.
I wasted years of my entrepreneurial life chasing investment for a range of projects. Even when I secured investment, it brought a lot of challenges, all of which distracted me from the problem I was trying to solve, and the customers I was trying to serve.
If you are looking for angel investment, and if you think I can help, get in touch. I work primarily with startups and early stage businesses, I will almost certainly love what you are doing, and want to help you to be successful. There are three key questions to focus on: why do you need investment, why now, and how will the investment accelerate your current strategy.
