A pitch deck is a presentation that entrepreneurs, startups and businesses use to provide a concise overview of their business plan or idea to potential investors, partners, or stakeholders. Also called a Confidential Information Memorandum (IM), it is a marketing presentation used by investment banks, entrepreneurs, corporate finance firms, business brokers and other M&A intermediaries advising on the sale or disposal of the shares or assets of a business. It needs to tell the story of a business to persuade and engage potential investors. A startup or business with new innovative products or services is, by definition, a fast-growing company. And to grow you need funding. Therefore, having a high-standard and visually appealing Pitch deck or Confidential Information Memorandum is essential. A well-designed pitch deck is vital to convincing investors that your company has massive growth potential, can be scaled, and will provide growth in value and a Return on Investment (ROI). In order to gain buy-in and drum up financial support from potential investors, these presentations must outline all the vital information regarding the proposal. The pitch decks can help a business:- Prove the value of their business Simplify complex ideas so the audience can understand them Differentiate your business from competitors Tell the story behind your company to your target audience (and make that story exciting) Show why investors should ‘get on board’. In summary, it's a tool to spark interest and generate further discussion about your business, ultimately aiming to secure support or funding for your growing venture.

Are you selling your business? We often see sellers drop their advertised sale price. Here are 12 items that can assist you in maintaining your preferred selling price:- 1. Information Memorandum (Business profile) – Have a detailed, comprehensive and professional document on all aspects of the business. This cover at least 20 areas of the business and include business history, financials, marketing, systems, sale process, photographs and many other areas. This document should cover questions any prospective buyer will ask; 2. Written appraisal valuation - be able to justify and substantiate the price you are asking with how it has been obtained by providing the method used to calculate the price; 3. Financial Summary – provide a summary of your financials over the last 2-3 years; 4. Addbacks – only allow for reasonable and justified add-backs per industry standards; 5. Truthful and transparent – Be honest and upfront with full details of the business; 6. Marketing and promotion – You need to market and promote the business sale with as many strategies as possible to get to as many possible buyers and investors as possible; 7. Taking of inquiries – have someone independent who can qualify incoming inquiries, ask the correct questions and filter out time wasters; 8. Confidentiality – Ensure all inquiries have signed and agree to confidentiality requirements; 9. Offers – Ensure all offers are provided in writing, and any conditions are disclosed; 10. Form 2 prepared – In some Australian state, any business sale of $300,000 below requires the preparation of a ‘Form 2’ or similar document, part of which is completed by your Accountant; 11. Contract – Have a contract prepared to shorten the period from offer to signed contract; 12. Professional advice – Use someone who is experienced and professional to manage the business sale process and steps. Whilst some of these actions are small in nature, they can add up and make a big difference. This means you may be able to obtain or get near your desired selling price.
