Venture Capitalist

Venture Capitalists otherwise known as Investors see many business plans and proposals, sometimes 100 or more a month.  Typically, they invest in only one to three of these.  If possible, obtain a personal introduction from someone that is well-known to the investors.  However, when this is not possible, utilizing CNF Exchange can provide a sophisticated lay out that gets your message in front of Investors in a clear and concise manner.

Venture capitalists provide funding for high-risk projects and proposals that offer equally high chances of reward in the financial marketplace. These investors typically charge higher interest rates than traditional lenders and use different criteria for evaluating lending requests, making them a good choice for businesses that require funding for risky projects, expansions, acquisitions and new business ventures. Some venture capitalists specialize in start-ups and expansions, while others are open to a wide range of investing opportunities. These investors may offer secured or unsecured loans depending on the level of risk involved in the project to be funded. For most businesses, venture capital funding is a way to acquire financing when other options have been exhausted. It is generally not designed for funding general business operations, as these activities are unlikely to produce the high level of profits required to make the risk worthwhile for venture capitalist investment. So, for example, acquiring a new franchise or competing business would be a suitable project for funding by venture capitalists; managing cash flow difficulties due to slow-paying clients would not produce additional profits for the business and thus would not be suitable for venture capital investment.
