VENTURE CAPITAL FINANCING

Showcase your company or business plan to qualified high-net worth investors with terms that are exciting for both parties.

Raising money for your venture can be a confusing and difficult process. The questions that arise are many, and your answers to these questions can affect the future of your company.

Questions such as:

• How do you raise money?

• Whom do I approach to raise money?

• How do I approach these people?

Most entrepreneurs believe there are only two methods of raising money:

1) Approaching a lending institution and acquiring debt

But using debt can be a high risk exercise:

a). Most lending institutions will need collateral against the money they will lend you. Collateral is property that is deemed acceptable as security or a loan or other obligation. In most cases, the only property acceptable for a loan or new business is the owner’s personal property. And risking your personal property against your business’ debt is considered very high risk for most people.

b). As many businesses fail, lending institutions usually charge high rate of interest against the loan to leverage their losses. Some banks will charge as much as 15% on loans greater than $1,000,000. Paying back the interest on the loan can be extremely challenging to a company just getting started.

2) Selling equity in your business

This can cause you to lose ownership and control of our own company. Equity stock or any other security representing an ownership interest can raise many more questions:

a. how much is my business worth right now?
b. how much equity do I give investors?
c. how much control of my business do I give investors?

The answers to these questions can affect your ability to raise money and relationships with your investors for years to come.

THE THIRD ALTERNATIVE: Raising money via Convertible Debt

Convertible debt is the ability for a small business to issue a loan, or debt obligation, to investors. But this loan can be turned into equity generally when the small business obtains future financing or generates a target revenue number.

It is sometimes very difficult to determine the current worth of your business, and this determination is usually when the deal falls through. Convertible debt is an excellent way to raise funds without setting a valuation on your business, as well as protecting early investors from dilution in the next round of the company's financing.
