For our purposes, a business plan should address the major information, strategy, and vision on various areas of the company. Each plan reflects the nature of the business and the character of the founding team. The plan is your opportunity to show us the underlying thoughts and thought process behind your vision for the company. We are looking for true operational business plans - not a sales document. Normally a business plan of this nature will be between 20 and 50 pages long including exhibits and financials.
Executive summaries are normally one to five pages long.
The executive summary will outline the key business focus of the company, highlight the company's technology, introduce the management team and briefly review their backgrounds, briefly review the funding request, outline the uses of these funds and include a simple projected income statement and balance sheet for the next several years of operation. Please allow us time to review and study your proposal prior to following up with interviews. The management of CIVF understands and respects how important the successful completion of an equity funding can be for your company. We will endeavor to respond to your inquiries as soon as possible. We do not sign non-disclosure agreements.
