Investor Management Plan

Good businesses can fail if they have bad investors. Investors bring in funds to the business, which plays an important role in providing for the capital needs and the working capital needs of a business. But choosing the wrong investors or managing them in the wrong way, can do the opposite.

Wrong investors become a problem when the business fails to screen who should be the investor to their business. Not all investors fit all businesses. Investors, like customers, are below to different segments. They have different pains in life, expect different gains to be satisfied and have different tasks and responsibilities to accomplish. This definitely impacts their expectations from the investments they make.

Their profits distribution or dividend distribution frequency will be different, their return on investment expectations will be different, their pay back period expectations will be different and their waiting period will be different. Their exit strategy will be different. So if a promoter or an entrepreneur takes in investors without knowing what type of investors he needs, then this will mean constant crisis and issues between the entrepreneur and the investors. At AASC our business consultants help resolve this issue. Our business consultants recommend the ideal traits that the entrepreneur should be looking for while selecting the investors. Once they have been identified, how to convince them to invest in addressing their pains, gains, and tasks expectations.

Right investors who are not managed properly can also create problems for the business. Here the investors were perfect, but how they were managed resulted in a sore relationship between the entrepreneur and the investors. At AASC, we believe that investors have to be treated by customers. This helps in creating a better cordial relationship between entrepreneurs and investors, that will help get their support during good and bad times. It will help them get more funds when needed, and many other benefits. But for this, there should be a proper system to communicate with them, update them and manage them in a way that is good for the business, and good for the investors. At AASC, our business consultants help our clients to preparing the right plans to manage the investors in a professional manner.
