What You Need to Know Before Investing in a Business

Today, I dive into crucial considerations for investing in businesses, applicable whether you’re an investor or a business owner seeking capital. Drawing from a recent conversation with a friend receiving numerous business proposals and pitch decks, I created a comprehensive checklist of factors to evaluate.

I emphasize understanding financials, team management, unique expertise, profit management, and cash flow. Additionally, I explore the importance of knowing investment time horizons, exit plans, and your rights as an investor. If you’re looking to invest wisely or attract investors, this episode is packed with invaluable insights. Listen in to arm yourself with knowledge for making informed investment decisions and ensuring your capital works effectively for you.
