Review the fundamentals
Before committing, investors typically review demand for the product or service, the competitive landscape, suitable legal structures, applicable ownership conditions and the approvals attached to the planned activity.
Test the assumptions
Revenue expectations and cost estimates should be tested against current market information rather than accepted at face value. A careful review reduces surprises after launch, without guaranteeing any outcome.
