Description
The First Page Decides Whether They Read the Second
Busy lenders and investors start with the executive summary, and many decide right there. A strong one states the opportunity, the money requested, what it buys, and how it comes back, all in language a decision-maker can evaluate in five minutes.
IWS builds that page for you. We take the essential facts of your business and your capital request and shape them into a concise, confident narrative that earns a closer look.
Who This Is For
- Owners seeking a bank, SBA, or private loan
- Founders approaching angel investors or strategic partners

- A two-to-three-page executive summary covering the enterprise, the market opportunity, the operating model, the amount sought, the use of funds, the repayment or return logic, and the principal risks addressed head-on

Example: A Financing Story That Earns a Second Look
Illustrative example: a hypothetical scenario showing how this assignment works in practice.
Consider a specialty food company seeking $250,000 for packaging equipment and inventory. The founder has written a detailed chronology of product development. The use of funds, the production milestones, and the repayment logic sit on pages eleven, fourteen, and twenty.
IWS would pull those essentials to the front: what the business sells, why customers buy, what the capital buys, which assumptions drive the forecast, and what happens next. The result is a concise summary in Word and PDF that puts the financing case exactly where a financier looks first.

The IWS Scope Promise
Every assignment begins with a written scope confirmation, before any work starts. If your project calls for more than this package covers, IWS tells you up front and you choose: expand the scope, narrow the project to fit the package, or cancel for a refund. Once IWS confirms your scope and begins work, service fees are non-refundable. See the IWS refund policy.
Why IWS for Capital Work
Finding the money has been the IWS specialty since 1966. Tyler G. Hicks built International Wealth Success on a simple conviction: the entrepreneur who knows where the capital is, and how to ask for it, can finance almost anything. IWS still publishes the reference works serious borrowers rely upon, including The IWS Directory of Business Capital Sources, The IWS Directory of Startup, Seed, and Equity Capital Sources, and The OPM Advantage. Your assignment draws on that same research discipline, aimed squarely at your deal.
