Entrepreneurs may have the best product, the most innovative technology, the largest market or the most detailed business plan, but they may still not be able to secure the capital they need to grow their businesses.

This workshop gives entrepreneurs the tools they need to make that winning presentation. The workshop focuses on: Identifying the key factors that entrepreneurs must communicate to investors; What entrepreneurs must never say; What investors look for in making an investment decision; How to present the opportunity; How entrepreneurs should establish their credibility with investors; How entrepreneurs can enhance their image and stature in the minds of investors; Preparing for the presentation; Dealing with stage fright; and Structuring a clear and persuasive message for potential investors.
