Getting ready for investors: a guide for business owners over 50


Hi, entrepreneurs! If you’re over 50 and looking to grow your business, you’re in the right place. Finding your way through the financial maze can be tricky, but getting yourself investor-ready is key. It’s not just about having a great idea; it’s about showing it off in a way that makes people want to back you. The Silverpreneurs® Programme is here to help you craft a killer pitch, explore different funding options, understand grants, and connect with investors. Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect.

Crafting Your Business Pitch

Nailing your business pitch is the first step to attracting investors. Your pitch needs to clearly and quickly explain your business idea, the problem it solves, and the market opportunity. Start with a catchy opening, define the problem, and explain how your product or service fixes it. The goal is to show your confidence and highlight the potential success of your business.

Exploring Funding Options

Getting the funds to launch or develop your business idea is crucial. There are various routes you can take, from start-up loans to grants. Crowdfunding is another great option that can also build a community of early supporters around your idea. Our Programme dives deep into which funding options might suit your business best and how to tap into them.

Navigating Grants

Grants can significantly boost your business, but finding the right ones and applying can be a bit of a task. Many grants come with specific criteria and need detailed info about your business and goals. At Silverpreneurs®, we guide you on how to find suitable grants and create compelling applications.

Connecting with Investors

Forming relationships with investors is essential for larger funding rounds. These investors bring not just money, but also mentorship and networking opportunities. Our Programme connects you with a trusted network and industry events for the duration of the course and beyond via our Alumni programme, helping you build relationships that last.

Starting a new business later in life brings unique challenges and opportunities. With our fully funded support programme, you can confidently step into the investor-readiness journey and secure the funds you need to bring your ideas to life. Remember, it’s not just about getting money; it’s about building a network of supporters who believe in your vision and are eager to help you succeed.
