Gary E. Cooke II

The business plan is done (for the present; and in most cases it will go through a year or two of edits) and you have either hired a brokerage firm or you are shopping the plan yourself. If you are looking for investment capital from private sources such as venture capitalists, in the next several months (sometimes years), you will attend many business lunches, answer a lot of questions and hope that the personnel handling day-to-day operations are up to the task

Until financing closes, it may feel as if you are in the business of raising money.

An important part of this process, however, is developing the game plan and working with the people that can help you.

Mr. Cooke has worked with clients in preparing and shopping their business ideas and business plans.

Examples include:

- A $25 Million Dollar start-up airline private placement as General Counsel
- A new style surgical glove technology company
- A barbeque grill manufacturing company
- A theraputic athletic product design company (Specific hot/cold products)
- An electronic peripheral company (joy sticks)
- A beer serving accessary, storage and home brewing supply company
- A Dairy Agricultural business
- An On-line private label music promoter
