What is an Investability Report?
We act as legal counsel to high-growth companies that regularly raise venture capital.
Companies that hope to raise venture capital need to be structured in a particular way in order to satisfy basic investor expectations.
We will review your corporate records to assess your investor readiness. We look at two things:
(1) Legal Compliance - Has your company complied with basic corporate and securities laws during set up and initial years of growth?
(2) Venture Standards - Is your company structured according to basic venture capital standards?
“Hundreds of companies have used Ink LLP’s Investability Report to assess their Investor Readiness and prepare for financing.”
