Our design and content meet structure and disclosure compliance requirements for due diligence. This includes a careful assessment of the management team, the business model, the value proposition, the distribution strategy, the intellectual property, the financial strategy and capital requirements, and the legal structure and records of the company, to name just a few. We believe that starting the due diligence process from the beginning should make business owners more aware of their competitive posture and matters of compliance and disclosure, which might otherwise cause them to falter if not addressed early on in their development. Funding Roadmap: Causes and Effects -There are more than 30 million potential users( in this country alone) each year who need to create and report this information. - Lenders/Investors with limited time for evaluating new prospects are inundated with poorly structured loan presentations and need the ability to search for industry specific investments based on very specific criteria and to instantly review online using the Funding Roadmap application. - With so many plans to review, and so little time, fewer prospects are reviewed and great ideas fall through the cracks. - The average entrepreneur doesn't have the contacts and connections it sometimes takes to get the attention of the right investor groups. Our platform levels the playing field. -Every funding source requires a business plan and financial statements at some point during the process and old fashioned narrative based structured printed business plans and applications lead to gross inefficiencies and higher rates of failure and have never been the right product for this kind of disclosure. - Due diligence can take 3 months or longer in the average venture capital deal because too many entrepreneurs are uninformed and ill-prepared, which results in an excessive number of companies failing this process and wasting everyone's time and money. - Even though our society over the past 40 years has adopted the traditional business plan as the required reporting system, no one has ever demonstrated its genuine efficacy and complaints have been expressed from both sides of the process to no avail until now.
