  • Why it's important to clearly explain what you'll use their investment for, and why financing for order fulfillment is the easiest investment to get
  • Why you should secure their investment through personal guarantees or other strategies so that they feel safe investing in you
  • Why you should avoid offering equity in the company, and why 8% interest returns is a good first offer

  • Why you should always ask for more time and money than you actually need, and why you should only use an investment for its stated purpose
