The Wizard software builds this template for you, customized to your needs. The Wizard software is included in every Proposal Pack and the Proposal Kit Professional.

Cover Letter
This is the initial letter included in your proposal where you introduce yourself or your company to the potential investor. It sets the tone for the proposal, briefly summarizes the investment opportunity, and expresses your enthusiasm about the potential partnership. This personalized introduction can help establish a connection and encourage the reader to consider the detailed proposal.
Title Page
The first page of your proposal should clearly state the name of the proposal, such as Investment Proposal, along with your company's name, logo, and the date. This page serves as the formal introduction to what the document is about and who it is from, providing a professional appearance right from the start.
Table of Contents
This section outlines the structure of your proposal, helping the reader easily navigate through the document. It lists all the chapters included in the proposal along with their page numbers. This is especially useful for quick reference and accessibility in longer documents.
Executive Summary
This is a concise overview of the most important aspects of your proposal. It includes the key investment opportunities, the potential financial outcomes, and a brief introduction to your company. The executive summary is crucial as it needs to capture the investor's interest and provide them with compelling reasons to read further.
Investment Opportunities
In this chapter, you detail the specific investment opportunities available. This could include information on the project, product, or service you are proposing. You highlight how these opportunities align with market demands and investor interests, aiming to show the potential for profitable returns.
Market Analysis
This section presents research on the current market conditions relevant to the proposed investment. It includes data on market size, growth trends, competition, and target demographics. This analysis helps to substantiate the investment opportunities outlined and demonstrates your understanding of the market landscape.
Investment Plan
Here, you outline the strategy for how the investment will be used to achieve business objectives. This chapter includes timelines, milestones, and specific actions that will be taken. Detailing this plan helps assure investors that their funds will be managed effectively.
Risk Analysis
This part of the proposal assesses potential risks associated with the investment. It not only identifies what the risks are but also discusses mitigation strategies to manage these risks. Transparently discussing risks is vital for building trust with potential investors.
Financial Statements
This chapter includes detailed financial records such as income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements. The Proposal Kit system can automate these financial pages with its line-item database, ensuring accurate and up-to-date financial data is presented.
Funding Request
In this section, you specify the amount of funding you are seeking and explain how the funds will be utilized. This chapter breaks down the financial needs of the project or business initiative, providing clarity on what the investment will cover.
Cost/Benefit Analysis
This analysis compares the costs of the investment against the anticipated benefits. It helps in illustrating the financial value of the investment to the potential investors, showing a clear picture of the expected returns on their investment.
Investor Information
This chapter provides potential investors with information about the investment terms, projected returns, and exit strategies. It may also include details about the equity or interest they would receive, making the proposal transparent and detailed.
Company History
Here, you discuss the background of your company, including its founding, growth, and major achievements. This section builds credibility by showcasing your company's track record and stability.
Management Profile
This section introduces the team behind the company, focusing on key personnel who will lead the project or business initiative. Profiles often include information on the experience, skills, and qualifications of each member, reinforcing the capability of the management team.
