How to Pitch your idea to Business Investors

Pitching a new business idea is one of the biggest challenges faced by entrepreneurs.  New entrepreneurs cannot afford to make mistakes that could cripple their future business before it even gets up and running.  Simply having a great business plan is not enough to get your new business financed.  You should also have an interesting and effective presentation about your business that will capture the attention of potential investors.  Some key tips that will help you to impress potential investors include:


1.      Tell an interesting story – Humor is a great way to break the ice, then continue by simply sharing the idea with the investors using slide shows and other visual aids, pictures and voice segments to make your presentation interesting.
2.      Use a format that flows smoothly – Keep the information simple; highlight key words and ensure that the main topics of discussion are centered and highlighted.
3.      Time your presentation – It is very important that your presentation does not exceed 20 minutes.  This should be enough time to capture the attention of your audience. 


Once your presentation is over, be sure to provide contact information.
