AN EXCLUSIVE SEMINAR INVITATION                           

A winning approach to financing your early stage business


How do you find the fastest route to funding your business?

How do you choose the right financing approach for your business? How do you make sure potential investors take note of your business plan?  How do you retain a majority stake? Why is it that following the traditional approach to raising capital does not work?

Find out at this exclusive tele-seminar

To hear the answer to these questions and more, you are invited to an exclusive one-hour tele-seminar sponsored by Cmypitch, HSBC and Business Angel Capital Ltd.  We’ll explore the ways you can save time in your search for capital and avoid the common pitfalls.

Why should you attend?

As well as keeping up to date with the latest approaches to business funding, you'll learn about:

  • The entrepreneur’s trump card for securing capital
  • The two approaches to raising angel capital
  • Why full business plans are not important as you think
  • How to obtain funding and give away as little equity as possible
  • Six tools you need to attract funding
  • How to get your deal seen by investors
  • What banks are looking for when loaning capital
  • What angel investors are looking for
  • How to reach angel investors
  • How to create an executive summary that gets noticed
  • How to successfully raise capital in a downturn

Expert speakers 

Paul Grant knows what it’s like to be on both sides of the funding fence. As an entrepreneur he raised funds for his own business, securing capital from business angels, bankers, family and friends, and even a government grant.

After seven years of trading he exited his business in 2003 and was invited to join a private equity company, Capital Partners, eventually heading up the business angel division.  Here he had access to nearly 5,000 angel investors and reviewed more than 1,000 business plans every year.

During this time Paul learnt a lot about why so many businesses fail to secure the funding they need in the start-up and growth phases. Paul has met with many investors, bankers, and venture capitalists over the years and in the course of his work has uncovered what they are really looking for.

More importantly, Paul has developed an approach to raising capital that works. He is keen to share with you what he has learnt as an entrepreneur and as an industry insider.

Paul is currently an associate director of BA Capital and Bergstrom Capital and is a regular speaker at events on the subject of raising capital.

 

"In today’s business world there are many routes to capital.  But finding the finance you need for your enterprise can be like learning to play chess for the first time – you have to know the moves before you understand how to win.  As with chess, the funding game can be learned." - Paul Grant
