ASK MIKE MONDAYS - When you ask “for the money” from your investors, what is important for your presentation ?

Typically on a capital raise you want to have a pre-existing relationship with your potential investor. The number one question that you must answer for the investor is A) How are they going to get their money back; B) What is the timeline going to be. Also, make sure that your debt lines up with a similar maturity as your investment strategy. Originating a new short term loan on a long term investment strategy is probably not going to work. Make sure that you contact a qualified attorney that can help you build a Private Placement Memorandum that discloses all potential risks an investor needs to know.
