Book excerpt: A comprehensive book on business plans, operating plans, including sample business plans, proposals, and letters of intent, resources, and much more. Every business can benefit from the preparation of a carefully written business plan. The purpose of the business plan is to help the entrepreneur think through the venture and ensure he or she has considered all their options and anticipated any potential difficulties. In addition, a business plan can be used to convince lenders and investors that the entrepreneur is in control of the project and their money will be safe with the entrepreneur. It also serves as an operating guide as the entrepreneur turns his or her idea into a viable business. More importantly, it furnishes a standard against which to judge future business decisions and results. Traditionally, venture capital investors invest in early stage companies. They make early stage investments in promising start-ups and in addition to venture capital, they seek to provide expertise and assistance to their portfolio companies. Their experience spans all aspects of growing successful companies ¿ from formative stage through management of multi-billion dollar enterprises. Their operating model is to work openly and collaboratively with venture capital funds, angel organizations, and other ecosystems that foster the growth of start-ups. Business plan fundamentals serve as important criteria for their decision on what they choose to consider for investment.

Book excerpt: Ask any established business owner to identify his or her toughest challenge when just starting out, and you'll likely get this answer: raising capital. Most aspiring entrepreneurs know far too little about the sources of money that can help start a business or fuel its growth. Where do you get capital? What are investors looking for? How do you ask for money in a way that gets results? This book answers these and many other critical questions. Even more important, entrepreneur and consultant David Nour shows how to develop long-term relationships with financial partner—the people who can help keep a business humming throughout its life. The Entrepreneur's Guide to Raising Capital, designed to help entrepreneurs navigate the money-raising maze, shows how to attract financing to fund the start-up and growth phases any business moves through. It answers the most common—and the most perplexing—questions entrepreneurs have about financing a business: How do I put together a credible request for funds? How do I choose wisely from among the plethora of financial and strategic investors, consultants, investment bankers, and other intermediaries? How do I identify and avoid the risks associated with various sources of capital? How do I plan for the right kind, amount, and source of smart capital as the business evolves? How do I get the highest return on invested capital? How do I avoid the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when raising capital? This book provides real-life, pragmatic advice from entrepreneurs who have raised money from friends, family, angel investors, and banks, as well as institutional investors such as venture capitalists and private equity firms. It details the process from start to finish while spotlighting the danger spots and ways to avoid them. It will be especially useful to those who are uncomfortable making important financial decisions, and to those who are confused by all the conflicting opinions offered by advisors—both well meaning and otherwise. By showing readers the financing ropes, Nour removes a major source of stress for budding entrepreneurs and moves them closer to their dream come true: a successful business.
