Consider that two established businesses are soliciting you for an investment, of which you can only invest in one. How can the better-quality company most effectively secure your investment?

a) Take you out to a nice dinner to explain how the company works.

b) Take you on a walk-through of their offices/factories to get a feel for how the company works

c) Show you the last several years of audited financial statements and related tax documents

d) Have you meet with their in-house accountant to review projections for their next project
