What do the pitches from
companies include and how
much due diligence is done?
Pitches as a minimum will include,
a description of the business, a
description of the market, progress
to date, exit strategy, intellectual
property details, management information and summary financials.
A Q&A forum is also available so
that prospective investors can put
any queries to management for
further clarification.
Due diligence on new deals is one
of the strongest in the sector with
Acceleris and Seneca’s expertise behind InvestingZone. Only the highest quality deals are presented to
registered InvestingZone users and
many are often cornerstoned by institutions who have completed their
own independent due diligence.
What additional tools does
InvestingZone provide?
With regard to an investment
pitch we have aimed to make this
as transparent and dynamic as
possible through embracing the
latest technologies such as video
calls with management, webinars,
a forum tool and an update facility
for all committed investors to
receive updates automatically.
Unique to InvestingZone, we ask
all companies raising investment
on the platform to report financial
and business updates using the free
to use reporting and shareholder
voting tools. In doing so, not only
is an investor able to commu nicate directly with company
management post investment,
but as a shareholder he/she can
vote on important issues and keep
track of progress all within the
individual investor dashboard on
the platform.
Acceleris and Seneca are
excited to have partnered with
InvestingZone…
Acceleris CEO Norman Molyneux
commented: “More and more
good quality UK companies
with excellent growth prospects
have not been able to secure
funding from traditional sources.
As a result, we believe it is an
excellent time to invest in British
businesses and the combination
of Seneca’s EIS Portfolio Service,
Acceleris’ direct EIS investing and
now InvestingZone’s platform
provides optimal access to these
opportunities for investors. This
partnership with InvestingZone
is another example of Seneca’s
approach to providing capital for
Britain’s hungry entrepreneurs.”
