Having a business idea is not enough for an individual to think about being able to become a successful business man or woman .
This is a major reason why a lot of businesses tend to go out looking for people that can believe in them and then help them with some money which will serve as capital for them to start their businesses.

The fact is that, this is not an easy thing to do because you have to convince people beyond reasonable doubt that you can actually go about the business without getting too face so many challenges .

Your experience in a related field to that business idea which you want to go into, would also go a long way in making people see the potential in your being able to grow that business idea .

If you are somebody who does not really have any previous experience in that field, I doubt if you can really do any reasonable exploit in being able to manage and grow a business by getting people who would invest in it .

From my own point of view , I believe that people have to work on their previous experiences , as this would go a long way in making sure that they are able to convince investors to support their business ideas.

The best way to attract investors to fund your business is to have a clear vision of what you want them to do. The most important thing investors are looking for is the potential for growth—they want their investment to be worthwhile, and they don't see a return on investment if you don't have a plan in place for how you're going to grow your brand. Your vision needs to be clear, specific, and actionable. Make sure you know exactly what it is you're asking for, and how that money will translate into growth for your business.

When you're trying to create a vision for your company's future, look at the competition already out there. See how they've grown and what their successes were, and apply similar strategies based on that research.

Once you've got your vision figured out, articulate it clearly and succinctly in your pitch deck. This involves making sure all the information on your slide deck is visually appealing and organized in a way that guides the reader through the most important points while also conveying an overall message—it's not just about having all the right information, but also being able to convey that information effectively.

Their are people online and offline who is just looking for business to invest on, when your business meets their standard or requirements they'll grant you angel funds, not all business can attract such kind of investors, they are known as VCs (Venture Capital investors). They love potential and creative business model, which can bring huge amount of capital after looking through your business strategies and format at which you want to explore with. Such kind of investors are what some creative minded in individuals needs to fly higher with their project or business. It isn't that easy to get them, but if you're washer with better business plan, and strategies you'll use to make consistent income or revenue, you'll definitely win their heart. But when you got nothing to show, it will hardly interest them, and you wouldn't win their heart even if you preach heaven and Earth to them.
