Florida Investment Network

Entrepreneurs - How It Works

We have created a database of Florida investors who are regular investors in Florida startups and businesses requiring capital. Our site also gives you access to investors from our partner sites in New York, Texas, California, Georgia, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Pennsylvania. We charge no commission and our rates are low, so the cost to you of finding investment can be as little as $149.

We offer a fast and easy process to get your business proposal in front of investors:

Step 1: Register as an Entrepreneur

The first step in reaching investors through the Florida Investment Network is to register. This involves answering a few questions about yourself in our one page registration form. It is free to register and the process only takes a few minutes. What are you waiting for? Register here.

Step 2: Create A Proposal

Once you have registered, you can then login and create an investment proposal. We don't ask you for a detailed business plan, only that you answer questions that investors need to know in order to do initial due diligence on your idea and your business. When you are ready to activate your proposal, a staff member will do a final review prior to releasing the proposal to investors.

Step 3: Find Matching Investors

Once your proposal is approved, our system will cross reference your proposal information with investor preferences to determine which investors should be notified about your proposal.

Step 4: Make Contact

Once your proposal is distributed to investors, you will be notified if an investor is interested in your proposal. Please be aware that we are a match-making service only. We receive no commissions so our rates for helping you find investors can remain low. Our system gives you access to contact information of interested investors, however, we do not become involved in due diligence, negotiations, or deal structuring between you and any interested investors.

Payment Options

Option 1 Submit your investment proposal for free using our Basic Services package. When our online matching service finds an investor interested in your opportunity, you can then contact the investor by upgrading to our Referral Services or Premium Services packages. Your proposal remains active for 180 days and all investor contacts are included in the price of the upgrade packages, no matter how many of them there are. Please Note: If you submit your investment proposal for free, it must be 100% anonymous.

Option 2 Alternatively you can pay an upfront fee for one of our two higher grade packages (Referral Services, Premium Services) and take advantage of our enhanced services. This will increase your chances of finding investment by allowing you easier and faster access to interested investors and the use of the many premium services discussed on our rates page.

My name is Denny, I'm 34 years old, am married and have a daughter. I live in in the Tampa Bay area and I worked for caterpillar as a machinist for almost 17 years. I left on good terms and started my own business doing the same thing I did for the company, mobile machining and started my own machine shop. I was able to use the experience I gained working for caterpillar to start my own business and build relationships with customers. Although my education is limited to high school it's absolutely possible to be a successful business owner. I'm a very motivated and go getter hustler type of person. I'm looking to invest in a company or person who is the same. Although I'm not part of an investor group or company, I am an individual looking to invest my hard earned money in a business or person who is hard working, motivated and a go getter, someone who wants to be successful in what they do.

My name is carl nicks. I am a 29 year old professional athlete. I have done well for myself and want a more hands on role on managing and diversifying my portfolio. Let me make it clear and easy for u to understand. In no way am I an expert investor. I have no high power connections nor do I know a lot about investing. What I do have is money and a strong will to succeed. Not to mention I've seen every episode of shark tank. If you feel like you have a good product and or business and the only reason you haven't succeeded is because you don't have the capital then I could possibly be the man for you. If it makes sense and you have a business plan that makes sense we can possibly make each other a nice profit. I also would consider myself a silent partner not stepping on any toes. I look forward to doing business with u in the future.
