Cover Letter

Title Page

The Title Page includes the name of the proposal, the name of the business, and the date. It may also contain contact information and a logo if applicable. This page acts as the frontispiece of your proposal.

Table of Contents

The Table of Contents lists the titles of the subsequent sections and their page numbers. This helps the reader easily navigate the document, enhancing the overall readability and professionalism of the proposal.

Cost Summary

This section breaks down the costs associated with the business or project. Utilizing Proposal Kit's line-item database, this section can automatically generate detailed financial data, giving potential investors a clear picture of funding allocation.

Return on Investment

Company History

Financial Statements

Funding Request

The Funding Request explicitly states the amount of funding needed and what it will be used for. This section should align with the financial details and projections outlined in previous sections.

Investor Offer
