Send a copy of your Business Plan to a potential investor for their review and consideration together with this easy-to-use template Cover Letter.

It is advisable to approach possible investors by way of referral from a mutual business associate, acquaintance or friend, and this cover letter is written from that perspective. The letter sets out the amount of financing you are seeking, the percentage of shareholder equity you are willing to offer in return for the investment and how you plan to use the funds.

Be sure that every cover letter accompanying a copy of your Business Plan instructs the recipient to sign a confidentiality agreement (which should be included) BEFORE they read the plan.

This Investor Cover Letter is in MS Word format, and is easy to download and use.
