Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you ready to grow your start-up but not sure how to attract funding?
It is important to have your business ready before you try to gain investors.
Roshan Sidhu from Frank Law looks at some important things you need to do to make your business investment ready:

- Have good cash flow and all systems running as efficiently as possible
- Have a clear end goal or commercial objective for your business
