Should You Start A Company

I’ve just added two new widgets here at my blog that will let you immediately download both a Sample Comprehensive Business Plan and a Reg D 506 Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) – for free. The PPM also includes a Prospective Investor Questionnaire and Investor Subscription Agreement.

These two free downloads are very basic, and are not the business plan or PPM that are included and analyzed in detail in Funding Foreplay – but they will show you the fundamental components of what you need for two of the twelve total documents you are required for successfully raising investment capital from venture capital and angel investors. Each document is about 40 pages long and can be immediately downloaded.

For a much more comprehensive business plan and PPM, including samples of all dozen necessary documents you will need, check out Funding Foreplay at www.FundingForeplay.com.

If you need help with financial projections and your business plan or business planning, check out my services and prices at www.ChiefDragonSlayer.com.

If you need personal, one on one coaching and mentoring, please check out my services at www.StartUpCompanyMentoring.com for details and pricing.

Wishing you STELLAR success with YOUR start up,

This post will give you some idea of the very extensive range of start up industries in which I have consulted and provided business plans, business planning, consulting and mentoring.

One of the many great things about my profession is working with so many bright entrepreneurs and CEOs in so many interesting businesses – and providing them with pivotal help to accelerate the success of their vision. (more…)

As a serial entrepreneur, I find reality TV a complete, contrived waste of time. I’ve never watched American Idol, Survivor, Amazing Race, The Apprentice, etc. Even the commercials showed me more than I ever wanted to know.

However…

There is finally one reality show that I not only watch – but one that I strongly recommend every entrepreneur and start up company CEO should watch religiously.

The show, Start-Up Junkies, on the MOJO Network really does show what it is like to run a new company.

Frank Lloyd Wright once said TV is chewing gum for the mind. He must have been talking about reality TV. However, Start-Up Junkies is a feast for anyone even thinking about starting a company. (more…)

Our company’s 15 year old business checking account was just hit with dozens of counterfeit checks being presented for payment by defrauded consumers on Craig’s List. So far, the total exceeds $100,000.  Small companies have enough dragons to slay without having to worry about a “Catch Me If You Can” counterfeiter and crook. I am not Tom Hanks and this crook is not Leonardo DiCaprio - but I hope this article helps protect both consumers and companies. (more…)

Do you still want to start that new company or home based business?

I’m pleased to tell you about my own new company – Start Up Company University – which is a division of Ceo Resource LLC. The first product offered by Start Up Company University might make all the difference to your own company’s future.

Funding Foreplay is a four module audio training course that teaches start up company CEOs like you – how to properly prepare and present the dozen documents you must have to successfully romance and seduce angel investors and VC to invest in your company.

I’ve condensed and distilled down the techniques that have taken me three decades to acquire and fine tune with my own real companies and my own real deals. Funding Foreplay includes over five hours of audio – and over 390 pages of real life, highly confidential, documents you can use as guides for your own dozen documents.

The introductory price of Funding Foreplay will double after the sale of the first 500 courses. You can learn to speak the language of investor love and grab Funding Foreplay at half the price…if you hurry. (more…)
