				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The important things to consider when you are looking to raise funding for your new business, or business idea, you need to concentrate on the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Have a great team</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">You need a good plan</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Be a good networker</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Build a &#8216;Great pitch&#8217; (if you can&#8217;t deliver your message in 1-2 sentences, then it&#8217;s not simple enough for a funder)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Have a good demo</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Be persistent (don&#8217;t give up)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Remain passionate about your business</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Show potential</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Build products, not services (service  businesses don’t scale)</span></li>
</ul>
