AP like most other financial institutions requires a verifiable financial model and reliable and comprehensive Information Memorandum from all the businesses applying for financing.
One of the major challenges startups and small and growing businesses face is the access to financing mainly because most of them are not investment ready. AP focuses on preparing businesses for raising external investment with the help of its catalytic financing and technical assistance. Hence, the key outputs of the training and advisory in the International Certificate in Entrepreneurship for new ideas and startups and Acceleration program for existing businesses are the tools for investment readiness such as Financial Model, Information Memorandum and Pitch Deck.
