1.) So, you're onto a winner?
We’re always looking for the next Brilliant Idea. Especially if it builds on our exciting businesses or creates brand new ones. All our CapitalCrew companies live and breathe our core brand values and all new proposals or ideas need to reflect these values.
They are:
• Championing the consumer
• Delivering a quality product / experience
• Driving innovation
• Competitively challenging
So if you think you’ve got an idea that fits the bill and has the potential to become a major business, we are open to your ideas.
2.) Getting your message across.
Each proposal is read and responded to. However, as you can appreciate, we receive a large volume of proposals, so please be patient for your reply.
We'd prefer you to send proposals that are document based and only send photos of any products or prototypes to help explain your idea. We cannot guarantee the return of any prototypes or products sent in so please do not send anything you want back. All proposals are archived for up to two years, and then destroyed after this period of time.
3.) More detail on what we need...
When you first write to us, give us a quick summary of what your idea is about but please make sure you tell us:
• What your product or service idea is
• Which business sector your idea falls into
• What stage of development your project has reached
• What your involvement is, what role you would like to maintain
• Why you are approaching CapitalCrew and how you see CapitalCrew becoming involved
• What are the potential revenues and profits you see in year 3
We receive many proposals, but can take only a few forward. Please include a well defined executive summary no more than 2 pages long that explain your business plans in simple terms. Tip: you're most likely to be successful if the concept is already well-developed, has large-scale potential and can be implemented soon.
4.) Keeping hush.
You should know that whenever anyone at CapitalCrew looks at a new business proposal, our policy is not to sign Non Disclosure Agreements in the first instance. This is because we receive hundreds of proposals which are often similar to those suggested by others, or to ideas which we have already developed internally.
5.) Ok, where do I send my proposal?
We first need you to check out our Ideas Submission Agreement. Just download the Agreement, take a few minutes to read through and agree to our terms & conditions. Unfortunately, we cannot review any submission without the attached Ideas Submission Agreement. After you’ve completed the agreement, please email it along with your Brilliant Idea to: mark@capitalcrew.com
