When starting a business can be a bargain all the long, something that is so rooted in your life that you can feel like a part of you. Be looking for fairness, you probably will be asked to give a little piece of you and your company to obtain the final result of the additional funding. In addition, you might think you and your company are an easy sell, but can be very difficult for an investor to take the risk of investing.
FirstPhase of equity financing would be small businesses that find the financing options suited to your needs. There are a number of plans, but some of the most common are:
Scholarships
The use of subsidies is an option for financing the capital, and may be an attractive alternative. Various government agencies provide, to support small businesses. Often these subsidies to an industry or type of property, such as technology or acquisition of a minority business focus.Competition is high for these scholarships, but if you have won one, I feel happy, because it is basically "free money" that are not reimbursed, even though there are usually rules about how to use the money power.
ESOP
ESOP stands for Employee Stock Ownership Plan. In an ESOP, employees can buy shares of the company in cash or by agreeing to cuts in pay or benefits. The employees own a part of society, and have moreFunds for other business purposes. Financing This option may be more loyal, work harder for workers to lead, and additional aid for the growth of your business.
Franchising
Franchising is a means to finance growth in the State where the franchisor "sold" the rights of expansion for another party. Typically, the franchisor will sell an initial franchise, service charges, equipment or rentals? Fees and royalties received by the business.
VentureCapital
Venture Capital is an investor who regularly with the risks of the business, in hopes of quick turnaround and profitable investment. There are three tips you can use to protect yourself and your company in dealings with venture capital
-Be on guard. This is a company in the first place and for the weakness of the business, it comes with to your advantage.
-Ensure that the details or "read the fine print." You need to know what youSignature and it is better to engage a lawyer in such operations.
"What you need to know how you know by need. Keep up on communication, but not give too many secrets. The use of confidentiality agreements and patents are very useful in this area. Nothing is free in this world, which should include your great ideas!
Venture Capital infuse your company with the funds coming from private sources, but remember that they are looking for companies with largePotential and rapid growth. This potential is usually associated with the need for a large sum of funding and therefore a more risky venture capitalist firms. The company, which is invested in funds that have achieved results are almost immediate and substantial. The amount of time that venture capitalists may invest, in general, this type of activity varies but is often a period of three to seven years, until there is at least a yield of 20-40% annual earnings. When money is greatinvested, big money is then expected in return. Don't be surprised by the fast paced and pressured atmosphere that can come when dealing with venture capitalists, that is just part of the game. Are you prepared to play?
Now, let's say that you have weighed your options and decided that VC is the correct path for your business. The reality is that VC deals can be difficult to attain, as the percentage of companies that achieve such financing is minuscule. Emily Mendell, a spokeswoman for National Venture Capital Association estimates that about 100 business plans VC are sent, about 10 of them received a quick glance, and reached its funding. One way to know in order to know whether the material is VC, the specific features that are looking for. Apart from the above mentioned issue of rapid financial returns, venture capitalists look for companies with great potential and is rapidly expanding in the area. For example, what kind of technology or a medical field are involved, one legcompetition, as we did in a desired position as increasingly profitable in Silicon Valley.
Angel Investing
Another option is to find funding from private investors or "angels" too. There are people who actively seek new investment for several reasons. Group of Angel investors are typically less demanding as venture capitalists, and often there will be less pressure and demands found in its financing agreements. You should be aware that theyCompanies are still people who want results and financial success, but they are also people who can help. Knowing that many times the angels looking to invest more money, because they know about the risk of contact and mentoring. Angel investors are often people who have or have had their businesses and implementation, you can get in touch with a network of invaluable help.
Angels are after slightly 'different from that of the capitalist media company, but be sureThese concepts are clearly defined and understood by both parties. Some angels are willing to extremely low interest rates for loans in an effort to provide added pressure on companies to give offer when it is started. Other conditions could also be involved in the Angel in conjunction with the release clause, "which may include a compulsory buyout or public offering of shares. Expected returns to be expected that the angels are of a company is usually three to five times their initial investment, aPrediction that contrasts with venture capitalists, a return of five to ten times larger than the wishes of the original investment.
IPO
Another option is the IPO or initial public offering, which may be attractive to many young companies combined result of success with a strategic move. A company that was previously held by a group of private investors will be open for the sale of shares owned by the public. This is aOption with a range of services ranging from awareness, or your company at the center of public attention, in order to obtain a rapid financing to be used at your disposal. Debt can be repaid from new improvements, inventory recording, etc. The investors may be very useful in IPO, too. Listed shares is more "will be sold in liquid fast or in a position where the company begins to have a downward trend. This reduces the risk for investors.
The decision to "go public", however,Rental includes a large number of people in the inner circle of your business. It must also consider whether the supplementary supervision of state and federal officials. Federal and state laws governing the sale of securities firms and the sifting of all the complexities of these laws can be lengthy. Informed of what the laws of the State will hold a "security", as they may differ from federal law. Knowing the complexity of the IPO is beneficial not only to work for your company, youcritical to your business and the financing of the future.
Look beyond the options and seriously thought about what best suits your needs. You must know the risks associated with all methods of financing and whether the risk is worth taking this route.
