The program is applicable both to new companies starting up and to existing companies looking to expand. A company seeking investment must be able to demonstrate their business as an exciting opportunity which will attract investors.  The Equity Ready Program provides education and training to companies so that they present to investors an attractive and viable investment opportunity.

The term “Equity Ready" refers to the point at which a company is ready to trade a share of their business for an investment which will facilitate expansion of the business.  Becoming “Equity Ready” is likely to involve a considerable amount of work in order to present a professional image and ensure that the company can maximize growth upon receipt of investment.  Major investors will receive many applications from companies seeking equity and as many as 70% of these are rejected because they fail to address the investor’s initial screening criteria (Source: Corporation Builders).
