Capital AccessAmPac is the entity that works directly with our portfolio and affiliate companies. Our Capital Access program gives hard working entrepreneurs the tools necessary to further their business goals. Our team works with the management teams to further develop their business plans, build equity raising and investor relation programs, and recruit top-tier management candidates. AmPac looks for three elements in evaluating investment opportunities:
THE OPPORTUNITY The first questions that we ask is how big is the market that a business is targeting and who are the existing or potential competitors? Multiple parties will ultimately pursue any good idea. The size of the market and the existing players, if any, will therefore determine what resources need to be brought to bear for a company to be successful. QUALITY OF THE MANAGEMENT TEAM Perhaps the most important criteria we evaluate is the management team. Good ideas and well-laid plans do not execute themselves. Leaders with vision, commitment to quality, endless energy and a deep-seated belief in the future success of their businesses are able to overcome the numerous challenges and the many obstacles faced by young companies. A cohesive, senior management team is important to quickly make decisions and work effectively as a seamless unit in driving an early-stage business or distressed opportunity forward. SUSTAINABLE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES With the increasing speed with which technology allows opportunities to be created and the ability for these opportunities to access capital, any sustainable competitive advantage that a company can create is important. These advantages take many forms including: significant first mover advantages, exclusive strategic relationships, existing brand identity, patented or patentable technologies and unique management experience SUBMIT A BUSINESS PLAN AmPac requests that companies submit an executive summary or business plan before meetings or presentations are scheduled. This allows us to thoroughly review your proposal and greatly enhances the interactive value of conducting a meeting. Please note that AmPac does not require a full business plan for review; an executive summary is sufficient. Please clearly identify the management team and accomplishments, the company, product or service model, marketing strategy, and any other pertinent background information. You are welcome to submit complete business plans as well. Submit plans and summaries to info@AmPac.com. |
