Raising Venture Capital

There are various venture capital firms that invest in many different kinds of companies. The first thing an entrepreneur needs to do when raising venture capital is locate firms that want to invest in his or her particular industry. He or she should be looking for firms that suit the company the entrepreneur is raising money for.

A good referral is very important. Contact should be made through someone who is knowledgeable about the financial industry: accountants or brokers or someone similar. If a respected accountant approaches a venture capital firm on behalf of an entrepreneur, that entrepreneur is more likely to have a chance to present their business proposal to the firm than if they simply cold called.

Raising Venture Capital: The Business Proposal
The next step is writing and presenting a business proposal. A good business proposal is thorough, addresses all the pertinent issues, and anticipates and answers any questions that may arise. A business proposal should have a clear and detailed response to the questions Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How? Investment banks may assist a company with its business proposal for a fee, if the investment is to be $5 million or more. Attorneys, accountants, and consultants can also offer guidance on how to write an effective business proposal.
