Investment Ready Guide
Welcome to the Investment Ready Guide. The guide is designed to offer you a brief introduction to the world of investment capital funding and to explain in clear language some of the concepts and terms used by the investment industry.
Included are a series of quick tests and templates aimed at helping you fi nd out if your business is ready for investment funding – or indeed if investment funding is the best option for your business. As part of New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE)’s wider product range for raising investment readiness, the guide complements NZTE’s Escalator service which helps qualifying New Zealand businesses and entrepreneurs to get investment ready, and the Investment Ready training delivered under the Enterprise Training Programme.
NZTE is the government’s national economic development agency. NZTE works to stimulate economic growth by helping to boost export earnings, strengthen regional economies, and deliver economic development assistance to industries and individual businesses. As a global organisation, it uses its knowledge and contacts in overseas markets to connect New Zealand businesses with trade and investment opportunities. This guide is part of that assistance.
You’ll find more details on the services offered by NZTE chapter 11 and the business resource section of this guide. We hope that this Investment Ready Guide will play a positive part in helping you build the success of your business. Good luck with developing your business and with your investment capital raising!
