For how long should I post my Business plan?

Each Venture has its own particular requirements. In order to decide on how long to post your plan, you should consider your needs. Is your venture within a niche segment of an industry? How large is the market? Is the general market educated about your product or service?

What type of support are you seeking? Equity or Debt financing? The best rule is to post until you are satisfied with a potential deal. Some ventures find the right support within a week, others take longer than 6 months to find the right support for their business projects. You may always choose to cancel or renew your subscription.

Be exhaustive in your demands. That is, don't always settle for the first offer. Contact, do your research and leave your plan on the market until you are satisfied that you have reached the best deal available for your plan. We will broadcast your plan, and bring it to an audience. It is up to you to create the best deal!
