To consider any invitation to invest, we require a clear, succint business plan that outlines the opportunity and the potential of the investment. What's important to us is the quality of an idea, the nature of the oportunity, and the commitment management makes to achieving ambitious and attainable goals. Also include how VB is invited to participate (including the expected returns from the venture).
While business plans come in many varieties, we look for several key elements when we evaluate a business plan.
The minimum information required to submit for an investment appraisal from Viscogliosi Brothers includes:
1. Overview of the investment opportunity, company overview, market opportunity, operational risks, timing, management team, and financials
1. What is the vision, mission and goals for years 1&2?
