Description
At IMS we take pride in performing a quick, but thorough evaluation of each entrepreneur's plans. We require the following items to evaluate your business idea on a preliminary basis: Your Elevator Pitch - Briefly describe (what you could tell us in about 30 seconds), what your company does, why your product is unique, who are your existing/potential customers, and why someone would buy your product or service. Be prepared to answer any questions related to this, to provide back-up information, and perhaps, to provide third party information sources to support your position.
