Finding Investors

[thecoryguy]

Hello, Forum

Does anyone have any suggestions on tactics to approach private business investors, or other companies pertaining to the things you showcase (i.e. electronics company for gadget review shows)?

I am also searching for someone to lease me office space, and have me pay them with film profits.

I am not business savvy. I've but been making films on my own and collecting all of the money. I would just like to expand.

Thank you!

Hi Cory,

I have some experience approaching investors but none on
leasing office space on spec. Maybe I can help.

You say you have been making films on your own and collecting
all the money. Do I understand that to mean you have made
money of your previous films? If so, you have a good start to
approaching investors.

Actually, I've been wondering the same thing. Do you just find a rich guy and knock on his door?

Okay, so there are some things I know I should do -- like have a solid, well-thought-out business plan ready, everything meticulously budgeted, etc.

But then once I've got that, who the heck do I approach, and how do I approach them?
