Show and sell

Article Abstract:

Small and medium-sized firms looking to raise capital to fund growth or diversify must draw up a clear business plan. It is vital to show investors where the business is at present, where it wants to be and how it will get there. Directors should be able to specify how their company's products compare with those of competitors and what their company brings to the market. It may be necessary to include background data about the business cycle. Plans for a new venture should include the cost aspects of any changes.

The good capitalist

Article Abstract:

Environmental and social issues must be taken seriously by the business community, with those failing to initiate ethical policies facing the possibility of legal and financial consequences. The UK government introduced several new strategies to reduce emissions and curb the use of non-renewable energy resources. Failure to fully co-operate with these regulations could result in falling share prices as fund investors shy away from non-ethical investment opportunities.
