Checking before an investor review

Is your structure ready for an investor review?

A structure can work well for running a business and still create delays when an investor reviews it. The decision question is whether your current or planned set-up would be familiar and clean to a professional investor, and what would need to change first.

Reading it from the investor's side

Investors may read structure as a risk signal

An investor wants to know who owns what, who controls decisions and what happens to their money. Unusual or opaque arrangements, even if legitimate, can slow the review and may lead to a request for restructuring on the investor's terms. Finding these points yourself first can save a round of questions.

The assessment does not claim to know any investor's requirements. It points out features that can prompt questions so you can decide which to address.

Features that can prompt questions

Ownership that is hard to trace

Nominee holders, informal side agreements and unclear founder shares all make due diligence harder.

Intellectual property outside the company

If the product was built by founders or contractors before the entity existed, someone has to show the company actually owns it.

A home jurisdiction the investor does not use

Some investors only back companies in places whose law and courts they know. Others are flexible. Which camp yours falls into is an assumption to verify.

Informal founder arrangements

Unwritten vesting, promised equity and unrecorded loans become issues once money is involved.

Where you stand

Three stages of fundraising readiness

Early idea, friends and family money

The structure only needs to be simple and honest. Over-engineering for a round that may never come costs more than it saves.

A product with traction approaching a seed round

Now the ownership of IP, the founder agreements and the entity location are worth testing against how the round will be run.

A group with several entities

Investors will want to see how value flows between them and where the business actually sits.
