The business plan comment is particularly pertinent. Any kind of
independent investor is going to want to see a breakdown and a well
presented idea of where you see yourself headed both in terms of
product but also finances. And worth noting that such business
plans need to be up to date - if you had a
business plan when you started, and you're now a year down the line
and looking for new investment, nothing is going to sink that
faster than if you present your old business plan and the potential
investor asks a few questions which demonstrate you were way off
base and haven't updated to take that into account.
