We seek a professional freelancer to develop a comprehensive training manual on investor readiness for small and medium sized enterprises. The manual should provide an overview of key concepts involved in attracting investment such as developing an effective financial model and business plan, understanding common terms and structures in investment agreements, conducting company valuations, and presenting to investors. The content must be easy to understand for business owners without experience in fundraising. The finished product should include several in-depth modules or chapters organized into a clear structure. Graphics and visual elements are encouraged to complement the written explanations. The goal is to equip SME founders and executives with the knowledge and tools needed to confidently pursue investment and growth capital. Sample training presentations, exercises, and case studies that bring the lessons to life would make the manual especially impactful. Fluency in business terminology and financial concepts is essential. The training manual should stand alone to be a reference for both classroom sessions and independent study. Creativity, clarity, and customization for the target audience will be highly valued in the final deliverable.
