Hosting prospective investors is an important step in the process of attracting business and investment to your community.
A well-planned and organized visit showcases a community’s strengths, unique characteristics and strategic assets. It helps investors visualize how their business could operate within the community and determine if it is an appropriate location for investment. A visit also provides an opportunity for investors to connect with community officials who may be involved with planning and regulatory approvals, as well as representatives of local businesses who can provide their perspective on doing business within the community.
To be effective, the visit needs to be carefully planned and managed to ensure the investor understands the strategic benefits of doing business in your community. It requires research and engagement to help secure the investment for your community.
