Whoever has the gold makes the rules... THE GOLDEN RULE


FUNDING
Entrepreneurs and early management teams often miscalculate their funding requirements, total capital needed, and timing of capital infusion. Errors result in:

- Loss of momentum or scaled-back operations
- Unfavorable ownership and valuation terms
- Management repeatedly raising capital and not running the daily business

Specifically understanding capital requirements is not a black art - it’s a process. Determining potential sources of capital requires matching a company’s needs against all available sources. Today’s capital markets look for business plans detailing the timing and amounts of: operational and capital expenses, revenue and cash flow projections resulting in an accumulative view of total capital requirements.
