Investment readiness: lessons for growing businesses
Edale’s work with Invest East included mentoring businesses in Norfolk and Suffolk on their funding and growth plans. The programme provides an example of the investment readiness support described on this site; it should not be taken as confirmation that applications are currently open.
Prepare for a funding conversation
Be ready to explain your customers, the evidence of demand and the milestones the money will fund. Your forecasts should show the assumptions behind sales, costs and cash requirements. A clear presentation makes it easier for prospective funders to understand both the opportunity and the uncertainties.
Ask Edale about business planning and investment readiness, or explore our wider enterprise development services.
