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.

Florida Investors

Florida > Bradenton

I am a 50 something, married entrepreneur from the UK. As our children are keen athletes, we have spent the past 4 years in Bradenton during the academic year. I am educated to MBA level, and recently sold my nursery school after 20 years of successful operation. I also previously owned an apprenticeship training company. I started both companies from scratch, therefore I am familiar with taking a company from the initial stages all the way through the growing cycle. As I am now spending more time in the US, I am looking for a company to invest, either as a silent or working partner and I would be looking to own at least 50% of the company.

There are no upfront fees associated with our application and underwriting process. I provide funds with reasonable rates and flexible repayment schedules. With our merchant cash advance program, we provide an advance lump sum to you and a small percentage of your future credit card receivables is allocated as repayment for your loan. For business owners who do not use credit card processing, we offer unsecured business loans like our ACH loan program. In this case, payments are made through a daily deductions from your bank account, just like with direct deposit. Whatever type of business you operate, we have the loan solution you are looking for.

I am an entrepreneur that has started and acquired companies in vastly diverse industries (consumer goods manufacturing, transportation, landscaping and lending). I earned a BSBA from The Ohio State University with a triple major in marketing, finance and logistics. I am seeking investment opportunities (traditional and non-traditional). My non-traditional investments are associated with asset based lending and have the wherewithal to extend seven figures or more, if the deal fits my criteria. With respect to my involvement, that would depend on the needs of the company.
