Competing for Capital in a Challenging Climate
It’s game time.
Representatives from three companies will be chosen to suit up and put their best plays through a dry run under the scrutiny of seasoned coaches and rapt spectators. Will you be one of these A-Team players? For an opportunity to be among the selected participants who will present their ideas to a panel of respected professionals from the capital markets, we invite you to submit an executive summary of your business plan for a project for which you are seeking to raise debt or equity financing. The project can be new development, recapitalization, an acquisition or a renovation, or addition at an existing seniors housing community. These experienced judges will pose challenging questions and provide commentary designed to help the presenters sharpen the organization and delivery of their plans. Judges will focus on identifying the less-visible risk factors of each business plan and suggest strategies for addressing them. Prior to kickoff, qualified business advisors will coach each presenter, giving instructive guidance to help ensure that the information is comprehensive and sufficiently well-developed for a successful presentation.

For consideration, please submit an executive summary business plan to Nicole Opatz

Selected business plans will be presented by our judges during the session at the Regional Symposium.

The deadline for submissions is January 31, 2011.

Everyone who attends this intensive session will benefit from observing, firsthand, the perspectives and insights of investors and lenders as they evaluate investment opportunities. Whether you’re a player or a fan in the stands, you’ll learn skills and techniques you can apply to your own business plans and execution strategies.
