What is Venture Capital?
- Venture Capital is medium to long-term finance provided in return
for an equity stake in potentially high growth unquoted companies.
- Venture
capital provides share capital, to help unquoted companies grow and
succeed.
- If you are looking to start up, expand, buy into a business,
buy out a
division of your parent company, turnaround or revitalise a company,
venture capital could help you to do this.
- Obtaining venture capital
is very different
from raising debt or a loan from a lender, such as a bank.
- Lenders
have a legal right to interest on a loan and repayment of the capital,
irrespective
of your success or failure.
- Venture capital is invested in exchange
for a stake in your company and, as shareholders, the investors’ returns
are dependent on the growth and profitability of your business.
