You’ve seen the television programs like Dragon’s Den; you can see how the silliest of mistakes and lack of preparation can scupper even the most innovative ideas. Our training events will explain the whole process of finding an investor for your business; what you need to do, how you need to do it and how things work from start to finish.

Pat Sutton has been matching businesses to investors for 8 years; she was a founder director of one of the foremost business angel networks in the UK.

Our training courses are  the first on this subject where the course director has first-hand experience of how this business works; over the years Pat Sutton has helped secure over £21million of investment in hundreds of growing companies. Pat has invested in a number of businesses herself and has also forged long standing working relationships with many serial investors, so she knows how their minds work and what they want to hear.

An investor brings more than money to the table; she brings her expertise, experience and contacts. A business angel network should not be the last place you come to, it should be the first. The modern day entrepreneur should think of this from the day she starts her business. With our workshops she will be able to prepare her business to enable it to grow quickly and profitably thus attracting external investment.

There are a lot of misconceptions about the type and size of businesses that interest investors; our workshops, with the help of real case studies, will surprise the delegate to know that any good business, if it is presented right, can excite an investor.

Some of the things you will learn:

• how to fine tune your business plan for an investor audience
• how to do a killer pitch
• how to overcome the fear of presenting
• how to write a winning executive summary
• how to value your business so you know how much money for how much equity
• how to negotiate the best deal
• how to find a business angel network and how they work
• how the investor thinks
