18.6. Preparing your company for growth, success or a sale?<br />

Whether you are planning to sell your fashion company fully or partly—for instance<br />

as part of brand platform strategy—or grow your company internationally through<br />

additional capital, investors are looking for a clear design identity and a value<br />

proposition. The plan and presentation to investors should be based on structure<br />

figures and process rather than feelings.<br />

Furthermore, budgets, balance sheets, investments, and cash flow must be well<br />

documented with a description of relevant actions.<br />

Figures should be supported by monthly reporting in an easy, relevant, and<br />

trustworthy format.<br />

Patents, brand registrations, IT licenses, etc., must be updated and documented. All<br />

contracts for employees including incentive schemes must be updated.<br />

Legal cases, if any, must be documented implicating the potential financial<br />

implication.<br />

The contracts of the company must be updated. This goes for suppliers, agents,<br />

distributors, rentals, customers, etc. It includes code of conduct and ethical<br />

production. A plan for the brand and company should be documented by budgets<br />

and profit and loss history and budgets. Elements of the plan are included in the<br />

following chapters.
