9.3.1 Investor Questions

For this activity:

You will need to write down your answers in your Mahara e-portfolio.

In this theme you have learnt that a business plan is a written document that outlines the future activity for an existing or proposed business venture.

As an investor, what would you like to know about the company? What questions would you ask an entrepreneur if they presented their business plan to you asking for an investment?

Task: Put yourself in the position of an investor and make a list of questions that you would ask an entrepreneur to find out more about them and their business. 

You may want to look at a sample business plan and think about what questions would tell you if their business would be a viable investment for you.

Once you have made your list, research the internet and compile a final list of questions that an investor would ask an entrepreneur.
