Impact Investment Readiness Diagnostic Tool
Is your impact business poised for growth?
How ready are you to take on impact investment?
Raising impact capital requires rigour and readiness across a range of areas of your business. If you’ve been focused on growth, it’s likely areas of your business need extra attention before you can attract impact investment
Knowing your business’ strengths and weaknesses is an important first step in understanding where you’re at on the investment ready journey. Having helped our clients secure several millions of dollars of impact capital in recent years, our Impact Investment Readiness Diagnostic Tool reflects our insights into what it takes to attract impact capital.
A full diagnostic is typically done during a face-to-face workshop. We will then prepare an insights report outlining areas for development in your business and recommendations as to strategy and sequencing for your impact investment readiness journey.
Focussing on 11 business critical areas, we use the Tool to identify where you’ll need to focus as you prepare to attract impact capital.
