Investors

[Bobby Duerden]

I have a proposal, and am looking for investors. It is a strong proposal as I am in talks with Nivea/Boots and things are progressing nicely. I have a business plan which could to be fair be better if someone who had done it before could go over it. I have all my forecasts etc but I need someone with the know how to get the business launched.

How much are you looking for? What will you do with it? What are you putting in? What experience do you have of the business you are going into?

 

[Bobby Duerden]

20k would be enough for full start up costs. I will be very hands on, the money discussed will be for equipment, to cover marketing costs and get started. In retail I have managed a store tripling revenue to over £1 million in 18 months. Also at Thyssenkrupp aerospace as inside business development. As far as the idea goes I don't have much experience in the sector but research allows me to make up for that.

You haven't said how much you are putting in financially or what your business is?

Have you tried the government start up loan scheme?

 

[Mark T Jones]

As ethical says you should look at start up loans

£20k is too small for professional investors, but you might consider a n informal crowd fund amongst friends, family and business contacts.

I have some private investors who can be as hands on as you like. PM me some details - happy to sign a NDA.
