Here are the three steps.

Step 1) The first step is to secure your concepts, research and feasibility study with a standard non disclosure statement. This protects you from piracy and is a typical request by entrepreneurs that investors and lawyers are used to. So don’t be shy about securing and using this legal instrument making absolutely anybody sign who has been exposed to your presentation including lawyers and even their secretary’s if they have to do clerical work on your paper work.

Step 2) Approach several lawyers and accountants and other professionals in your area and leave them a presentation sheet that explains the rough outline of your idea without of course giving anything of significance away. They are the right people to approach because they have corporations and high net worth individuals on their client books that may have expressed an interest in slightly higher risk high return investments. Yes you will need to pay a lot more for your money from venture capitalists than you would if you were using a traditional lending institution like a bank because of the typically standard higher risk involved.

Step 3) Make your presentation. The presentation is almost as important as the idea itself. To boil it down it is a sales pitch and that is how it should be approached. You are to present the results of your feasibility study and present credible sources of statistics that clearly point to the likelihood of your concept being a “home run” idea.

Essentially raising capital from private investors is a simple exercise and after reading this article you will understand why it is so easy. Developing a strategy is the key to this industry and the act of securing capital from investors is an industry in its own right…as you will see…

If you will put yourself in the shoes of investors you will get a better insight into what they need to know to say YES to your project. If you do that you will see a few things. First, you will notice that they are a little bored and mostly ambitious to find a better annual return than the single digits of the typical stock market return or a simple term bank deposit. The may only be willing to invest 5% of their total portfolio in propositions like yours because they recognize the higher risk, but hey, 5% of $10 million dollars is still $500,000 so I am sure there will be plenty of seed capital there for you to get your project off the ground.

You will also notice as you wear these private investors shoes, that you have been very prudent and careful with your money to accumulate so much of it and it has taken a long time. If an investor senses in any way some sort of flippancy or wavering on your part, they will NOT go ahead with you even if everything else was perfect and you fitted just right. If there is something off about you or your team or your presentation in terms of confidence, you will definitely not get a yes. You may get asked for more information, but waivering confidence is a big red flag for investors.

So here are the three easy steps.

1) Create the feasibility study and produce it in a professional pamphlet. Essentially make sure to include supporting statistics from credible sources about your potential market.

2) Get a legal instrument called a non disclosure agreement. This document can be purchased ready made at most lawyers offices. Get everyone that is exposed to your confidential data to sign it. It covers your interests and protects you from copying or loose lips.

3) Contact as many lawyers as you can find listed and ask them about finding you private investors. Most lawyers and accounting firms for that matter have many clients on their books and many typically express an interest in funding venture capital for new start ups.

New directions come from economic slowdowns out of necessity. When the economy is pumping along, generally the dominating forces are the established and successful products and services in all the respective fields. But a downturn is the worlds way of telling itself…we want change. If you are an entrepreneur that wants to raise capital today…then I hope this article helps a little.

It is actually quite easy to raise capital today because of the current climate, so lets look at a brief guide to raising venture capital within say one week. The first step is to conduct an official feasibility study regarding your brilliant idea. This is simply research conducted to paint a picture of the current market of your product or service and the potential markets feedback.

You should present your feasibility study in a professionally documented manner so investors can take your paperwork with them for further discussion.

Along with a feasibility study, to raise capital today, you need to provide supporting statistical information that supports your arguments, opinions and assumptions. This statistical information must be fully verifiable by any third party if they so choose and the organization providing the statistics about the market should be seen as credible.

To find venture capital all you have to do is approach your local lawyers as they always have a loose knit network of associates and clients that look at new opportunities and would be willing to invest in them. A final note is to make sure you cover your own interests by always using a nondisclosure contract. This is a standard contract that can be purchased for $25 dollars from any lawyer ready made. You must make sure that anyone who comes into contact with your idea must have signed this legal instrument, which protects the confidentiality of all details of your concepts.
