Once you attract interest from investors, it's crucial to negotiate terms that are favorable yet realistic. Consider the following:
Equity Stake: How much ownership you are willing to give up in exchange for the investment. Valuation: Ensure the valuation reflects the true potential of your business. Control: Understand the level of control and decision-making power you retain post-investment. Milestones: Set clear milestones for fund disbursement to align investor expectations with business goals. Exit Strategy: Discuss potential exit strategies for investors, such as IPOs, acquisitions, or buybacks.
