So I had someone contact me about investing in my jewelry line, but he wants to see all the numbers first. What info should I give to him? I just wanna make sure I'm covering everything when we have our meeting and don't wanna miss anything. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to investors and don't wanna fuck anything up lol any advice?

Most investors want a business plan, a current P&L (profit and loss), a balance sheet.

If some of those aren't available, I would at least present something that shows business expenditures and overall profit ratios. At least with that, he can see that it is a viable business.

you need have a proposal/portfolio... the goal for the business more than likely a 5 year or 10 year plan with the amount delegated to each parts (how much on jewelry, supplies, etc) with an expected turn around for the business to grow and give the money back plus make interest and income for yourself.

remember an investment is so they can get the money back with interest, so they want to know it is for the business to grow and they ain't losing out. go online, and look up business proposals and portfolios for examples.
