A lot of entrepreneurs ask me what to expect. More or less, what is a typical deal like? My answer is there is no real recipe for deal soup. There is no blue print, no clear definition of it. But, in general, most deals have five really distinct categories that you can look at to evaluate and see if you have a good deal.
The first thing you want to do as a capital seeker, is be sure that you can define your market. I mean in clear terms, know your market. Know where you belong and where you fit in.
Two, you clarify your competitive advantage. That is, what gives you the one-up on the rest of the guys.
Three, be well organized. This is really important. A company is only as good as the machinery that it is running on.
Four, have a clear exit strategy already defined and keep that in mind, work towards that end.
Five, great companies that are seeking capital and get it know how to monetize their business. In other words how do we convert our business service, whatever it may be, into dollars.
Now, capital seekers who can answer these questions have a pretty good chance of getting funded.
If you've got questions, or any capital seekers out there, wish to go over some of these points, feel free to give us a call at the Capital Match Point anytime. This is what we do and this is what we are here for.
