“We Teach Businesses to Effectively

Prepare, Package & Present their

Funding Requirements to the Investment

Community”

Investment Ready Partners Inc

The Funding Challenge Investors see many Opportunities, Invest in Few. Having a Unique Product or Service does not make you Unique to the

Investment Community. At a Minimum you Require:

Experienced, Talented Management Team “The RIGHT People With The RIGHT Responsibilities”

Established Revenue & Profit or a Specific Short-term Path to Achievable Revenue Objectives (> 6mths)

Ideally 2 Years in Business with Reference Clients Corporate Accounts Current, Taxes Filed, No Arrears Clear, Reasoned Business & Funding Objectives Product/Service & Intellectual Property Differentiation An Identified, Addressable Marketplace that Supports your Business &

Funding Objectives A Comprehensive Investment Package

“An Investor will invest in an ‘A’ management team with a ‘B’ plan; before a ‘B’ team with an ‘A’ plan.”

The Cost of the Funding Process Investment Package Creation is Resource Consuming (100-

300hrs). Raising Investment is not a Core Business Process but is

Fundamental to Success.

How Does The Business Meet The Challenge? Sacrifice the Productivity of Core Leadership to Prepare for the

Funding Process? Overload Resources with Additional Hours and Work? Add a New Process not Necessarily Suited to the Talents & Skills of

the Core Leadership of the Business? Hire Additional Resources to Execute the Process? Contract the Process to Experienced Professionals?

Investment Ready Partners, through Pursuit™, Delivers a Proven Cost Effective Solution to Successfully Manage the Funding Process.
