Preparing your Executive Summary

This should be a one-page description of the project, ideally to be written after the Business Plan and Financial Model have been finished.

The following topics should be summarised:

• Overview of company/project, implementation plan and current status;
• Current financial situation, proposed investment/financing ask;
• Shareholder/ownership structure, strategic partners/sponsors;
• Why investors would choose your project (unique competitive advantage, expected financial returns and impact attractiveness – social, environmental, gender equality).
