Sun, 25 Mar 2012 18:39:21 +0000

Watch this video and comment now: capitalmatchpoint.com Hosted by Dave Dambro, The Capital MatchPoint, 770-433-8250, .capitalmatchpoint.com…What is going on inside the mind of the investor? Every capital seeker needs to answer that question and I’ve got a couple of key points to make on that subject. First of all, you want to realize that as an investor, especially on the professional level, you’re listening to stories for several times a day, several days a week, several weeks out of the month, months turn into years, you do the math. It’s an awful lot of presentations. So we’re looking for sisync answers to the questions we’re asking, as opposed to stories. Secondly, we’re looking for specific things and in fact the questions are generally formatted in a very pointed way to get those answers out. So, thirdly, you wanna be on guard not to oversell your opportunity your company or your companies merits. Answer the question, don’t tell a story. And fourth, when you’re asked a question, you need to be prepared to answer it. So, go over questions in advance, have a presentation, organize in your mind, and expect that question to come up. An investor, overall, really is just trying to answer this simple question, “What happens if I put one dollar in the front end of this company? What do I expect to see come out the back?” And capital seekers that keep that in mind really will know what’s going on inside the investors head. And those that have questions about the nature of …

Business Plans-How to create financial statements that will stand up to investor scrutiny

Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:39:21 +0000

Hosted by Mark N. Bass, The Capital MatchPoint, www.capitalmatchpoint.com, 770.433.8250…I work with a lot of entrepreneurs seeking capital and putting together their financials.The question that always comes up is, what do the financials really need to contain to stand up to the scrutiny of sophisticated investors? Aside from the obvious, which is they need to be believable and the assumptions need to be able to be backed up and defended, there are basically five points that I give an entrepreneur to use like a check list. #1, have a complete set of financials.This includes historical, en pro-forma, balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows. Always be advised to look forward at least three years, five year if you can, but at least three. For the first year, summarize your information on a monthly basis. For years following that, do it on a quarterly basis because looking that far out is not that good. #3, include historical financials as far back as you have accurate information. I say this because we work with a lot of companies in the early stages of development, and there may not be historical financial information back very far. So, go back as far as you can but do not go back any further than you have accurate information. Because at the end of the day, accuracy trumps history. #4, make sure that your business plan and what you say in your business plan in your market analysis and your competitive analysis, make sure those hang together. Because …

Raise Money-Know the Investor when seeking invesment capital

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:37:37 +0000

Hosted by Ken Honeyman, The Capital MatchPoint, www.capitalmatchpoint.com, 770.433.8250…That’s a wonderful question: what about the veracity of our investment team? When a company need our investors, we want them to be ready. And you might say, “For what?” Do your homework on them just as they do homework on you. Due diligence really is a two way street. If you only think it’s a one way street when you talk to a capital provider, I’d like you to examine how you can evaluate the funding source themselves. At the same time your business plan is under a microscope, you should be assessing the prospective funding source’s strengths and weaknesses. Consider the following questions I’m about to put out here as to whether the capital firm fits into your current or projected requirements. How well does the firm know your industry? How often does it work with companies that are in a development stage similar to yours? What assistance can the investor bring to you in terms of management expertise, industry contacts, or support services? What’s the reputation of the firm in the investment community? If the firm is going to serve as the lead investor, then how effective will they be in helping to attract additional co-investors? Has the firm asked for any special reward or compensation for serving as a lead investor? What effect this will have on the willingness of other co-investors to participate? That’s important. I think one of the biggest things is, will this firm be able to …

Investor Angels Part One

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:37:38 +0000

This social minded program is managed by government licensed professionals with over 30 years experience. Our “Investor Angels” (passive real estate investors) adopt pre-qualified families who are enrolled in our “Fresh start” or “Rent to Own” programs. Our “investor Angels” purchase bank owned properties that are selected by our “Fresh Start” Families. These properties are discounted below current market values. During the rental phase from 1-3 years our “Investor Angels” receive a 10% “cash on cash” return after all expenses including property management. When the “Fresh Start” Families complete the rental phase and qualify for their new mortgage a 10% cash “bonus” is paid out to our “investor Angels” at closing. Thus our “Investor Angels” can receive a 20% or more return on their cash investment yearly. Our “Fresh start” Families earn the right of homeownership at affordable prices with this program thanks to investor sponsorship. Our “Angel Investors” get a complete financial package of the “Fresh Start” Family they intend to sponsor prior to commitment. There is absolutely no work required by our “Investor Angels”. This is strictly a passive real estate investment managed by government licensed professionals. We believe that this is a solution for today’s housing crisis. And a great opportunity for families who are blessed financially to make their monies work for them both socially and economically. This program will make a difference in today’s society. Please …

Once you have wrapped up the business plan phase of your start up company, and you have the finished document sitting on your desk in front of you, then what? What are your next steps to your Point B? What is your W Cubed? W3 = Who? Is Doing What? When? Exactly WHAT are you going to do in order for you to find the investment dollars for you to fully implement your plan and achieve your vision? Who will be the WHO that does all the work required to raise your funding? WHEN are you going to really start? Raising Your Funding Can Be ANOTHER Full Time Job For The CEO. This is one of the most critical areas for starting a new business and one of the main reasons so many fail. Fundraising, with its near-infinite number of necessary, discrete action items, is almost always at least a full time job for the CEO or Founder and it is easy for daily operations to constantly interfere with the time requirements of this highest of priorities task. As a result, many plans and offerings go unfunded – and visions become unachieved. Take the necessary steps to do whatever it takes, legally, to keep this dragon from blocking your path to success.
