I'm often asked, should I go it alone when it comes to funding, or should I seek the assistance of a professional? I think the best way to answer that is ask yourself a couple of questions. I've got four in particular that you need to keep in mind.
First of all, you have limited contact. You're probably great at the business that you are engaged in, but you do not want to call your friend the lawyer, or your buddy the accountant, and see who they know who raises money for your company.
Number two, you are probably strapped for time if you're running a business, and let's face it, time is a precious resource, treat it like one.
Number three, you've got to ask yourself, do you have the experience? And if you haven't been down the road of funding a company before while running it, you probably want to seek the advise of a pro.
Lastly, you want to keep in mind this one, raising capital is a two headed monster. You've got to ask yourself the question, am I capable of running this company effectively and efficiently while raising capital?
I typically recommend help. Now, you get back to the business of running your business, and leave it to the people like Capital Match Point. We have been doing this a long time.
