As a continuation of the existing thread https://www.nairaland.com/1247249/nairaland-dragons-den-get-funding/3#15546437

I wish to state that the way people come here to advertise that they need businesses to fund and end up doing nothing is kinda interesting. They talk alot here and end up doing nothing. If you are interested in funding an idea or existing business then you should try to meet with the entrepreneur, prepare some paperwork, invite the person for a physical interview, etc and then you fund the business.

What i see here are so-called investors who are looking for a business venture or idea to hijack and own.

If you are a serious investor, please introduce yourself here, What you do for a living, amount of cash available for investment and your location. If you are a lawyer, please tell us what it takes for a proper agreement to hold and what benefits both parties (investor and entrepreneur).

Business plans and start up ideas can also be placed here to. I have a plan but when i noticed the games investors are playing, i decided to start setting up the biz by my self. Its up to an extent and i will continue further, if as an investor you are interested in partnering with me, then i can drop my business idea here too. And we will come to an agreement AFTER a lawyer has made us understand what we stand to benefit from the business both as in investor and as an entrepreneur. I don't need no so-called investor hijacking my business and owning it because he invested some money. So let the games begin

i laugh in Kanuri......
Get serious what type of financing do you want... Debt or equity... if equity be ready to give up control... and if u do not perform be ready to get sacked from your company... yes i mean it ask steve jobs....

considering the society i can see your point...

but then i find most of your comment laughable

and then fund the business- you're almost assuming every idea should/would get funding?

about hijacking ideas-- seems you havent seen the original dragons den, you want to hijack someone's money but you dont really want them to ask you serious questions about your ideas- it's 50/50, right ofF the bat you dont trust anyone with your ideas, but you want their money and perhaps get a chance to work with them >insert expletives here<

lawyer this lawyer that, are lawyers going to tell you how profitable your ideas would be? who is paying for the lawyer or is he going to ask for a percentage?

we see the reason ibeto n co dont want to list one the nse, 'apparently they dont want people overtaking their one man business

PS: admittedly i have not been following the initial thread after the first few

I get your point. Its alright to be asked series of questions by investors. But dnt you think after spilling your guts to tye investor, it is pertinent to let the person know that they cam fund the said idea or business? Rather they just disappear into thin air. I am growing my business gradually and i dont need Nigerian investors cos they are never serious.

All investors are the same... real ones are sharks,lion some are hyenas ...
The most important thing is ur financial iQ...get it straight....
If ur plan is foolproof no investor will steal ur idea exept if he is an hustler like you.
