How to Develop a Business Plan for Raising Capital

March 22, 2012 - PRLog -- CHICAGO, IL:  FreePoint Consulting issued an article today on writing an effective business plan to attract investors.  The article outlines the structure, content and steps that need to be taken to properly communicate a business opportunity.  “Great ideas won’t attract investors without effective communication.  A well thought out business plan outlines the business opportunity and operational implementation plan, and to an extent demonstrates the competency of the company’s leaders” according to Dan Ammentorp, principal at FreePoint Consulting and author of the article “there is no substitute for a well written plan”.  

There are standard methodologies required and expected from any plan.  These are proven areas that need to be considered.  For companies seeking capital investment, following a standard protocol will improve the potential for review by investors.  “Investors look for key items, for example a competitive analysis or financial forecasting metrics.  If they don’t see them right away, they may reject the plan before even reading it” said Mr. Ammentorp.

The FreePoint Consulting website (www.freepointconsulting.com) has the tools entrepreneurs need to begin thinking about their business.  FreePoint Consulting recommends the entrepreneur fill out their business plan to the best of their ability following the recommended format.  Optionally, a FreePoint can listen, evaluate and point out areas of opportunity for improvement.
