Make your Business Stand Out

10 tips to make your business rise above the rest.

Bplans explores ways to make your business stand out to investors.

Tell a story: Nothing will hook investors more than a story that they can relate to.


Show that there’s a market: You may have a great idea to solve a real problem, but unless enough people have the problem, it’s going to be hard for investors to consider.


Keep your solution simple: keep the description of your solution simple and straightforward.


Show how you make money: Don’t forget this critical slide in your presentation.


Show that you have traction: Traction is proof that you have a good idea. Whether you have early customers, or other evidence that your target market is interested in your solution, make sure to share that evidence.


Have a marketing and sales plan: Investors will want to know that you’ve thought about this aspect of the business.


Explain why you are the right person: You, and your team, are what investors are really investing in. There are always great ideas, but only so many people who are qualified to turn those ideas into successful businesses.
