Investment readiness support

Investors have a very particular view on the information that they want to see in your business plan, which will often be quite different to the focus of the executive team. This has the potential to cause problems when one team talks to the other, so before that conversation happens it’s vital to ensure that your business and business plan is aligned with investors' expectations.

The GBF Team has extensive, award winning, £13M+ raised experience in formulating business plans that speak both to the realities of the business and to the issues that will drive an investment decision. Far from being a problem, addressing these concerns accurately and substantively can help your business grow and prosper. In particular, a realistic and detailed plan of how to achieve a monetisation event, the "exit" for your investors, is vital and needs to be a constant focus of everything you are doing.

A non exhaustive list of investment support activities would include:

  • Business planning

  • Strategic positioning

  • Offer definition

  • Market analysis

  • Exit planning

  • Investment pitches

  • Business plan authoring

  • Business plan review and refinement
