Your Investment Idea

I receive a huge number of emails from entrepreneurs seeking advice or requesting that I become an investor in their ideas.  To give me a clearer idea of you, the product and your business, it would be helpful for me if you were able to fill out the detailed questionnaire.  This will give me and my team a better insight into the development stage of your idea and how, if the idea appeals and has investment credibility, I may be able to help and assist in making your dream a reality.  I need to take a considered view and the questionnaire helps me in this process.  Due to the high number of investment opportunities I get and those that I am currently involved in, I am not in a position to respond personally to all enquiries.  Where I am in a position to provide assistance I will contact you.  I enjoy reading your propositions and I look forward to hearing from you.

As you answer the questions, you may find your business proposition doesn’t include all the key information at this stage. If this is the case, you will be offered some tailored resources to help you fill in these blanks.

Once submitted your pitch which will be carefully considered.
