Sounds like what you really want is a Due Diligence process performed on the company/business. In most cases, the investor dictates what they actually want from you (rather than just taking something you give them). If you are asking for (say) half a million, they will want to see that there is at least half a million value in the company (through potential revenue and existing good will) to ensure that they have a fighting chance of the business going somewhere. This generally means you will be opening up all your books, profiling all staff, and expanding on the points in your original (hopefully kept up to date regularly) business plan. Not to mention why you need THEIR money to do what you want to do (i.e. why you just can't grow the business yourself over time). Generaly, with a "capital injection" like that the business in question will have some type of expansion plans that will see exponential growth. This is what you have to demonstrate. But, trust me, the investor will have some pretty good ideas on what they want you to provide - so ask them what they want. If you can afford it, there are companies around (search google for "due diligence site:au") that will perform the service independently (for a fee). But you should work closely with the investors - they may have a preference for a particular Due Diligence provider.
