Business start-up.?


When a person decides to start a new business, and needs capital... They can write a letter to somebody and "ask" for money, or give a presentation.
-
My question is:
What does the "investor" get?
Is there a "norm"? Like is it generaly understood, that "If you invest in my business, you will get so many shares of stock"... Or do you have to include an "offer" in your letter/presentaion?

I need to write a letter asking for money, and don't know what to say, or what the potential investor has to gain.


Thanks in advance. I know this is a weird question for a lot of you, but if somebody could help me I would appreciate it.

You would typically get charged interest. You definitely want to look into each investor's policies before sending your letters. Do as much research as possible. Most small businesses that fail within the first year or two, do so because of the amount of interest on loans. I do know of one businessowner (doing extremely well today), who invited every single person she knew and simply asked for backers. These were friends and family who were not expecting any return - therefore every dollar she raised had zero interest and did not have to be paid back. You may only get $5.00 or as much as $200.00. Have a well thought out, prepared business plan to present and loads of confidence. If you have enough people who believe in you, you'll be that much more ahead. You will probably still need a loan, but you can tell your potential investors that you have X amount of dollars in your business savings account. It certainly can't hurt. And even if you only make a few hundred dollars, it's three hundred more than you have today!

I honestly wish you the best of luck!
