Venture Capital Financing

How much money does my venture need?  When is it needed?  How long will it last?  Where and from whom can it be raised?  How long should this process be orchestrated?  These are important questions to any entrepreneur at any stage in the development of a company. 

Once an entrepreneur has defined the core of the market opportunity and the strategy for obtaining it, he or she can examine the financial requirements in terms of 1. assets needed and 2. operating needs.  The next core concept in determining external financing requirements is free cash flow.  Three vital measurements are the 1. burn rate (projected or actual) 2. time to OOC (when will the company be out of cash) and 3. TTC (the time to close the financing).

Venture capital financing uses a different methodology for determining the viability of a particular loan application. In general, these investors consider the known risks versus the potential rewards in order to make a decision regarding funding a particular proposal. As a result, businesses seeking venture capital finance arrangements should typically put their primary emphasis on the potential financial rewards of the proposed project or acquisition. Financing venture capital projects typically entails a great deal of due diligence on the part of the lender. Businesses can streamline the funding process by making it easier for these investors to finance venture capital projects; this is generally achieved by providing them with the due diligence in advance. CNF Exchange offers a number of added services that can allow businesses to improve their chances of acquiring financing for venture capital projects, including providing assistance with detailed documentation and financial statements to make acquiring this funding easier for everyone involved in the process.
