VENTURE AND PRIVATE CAPITALIST AND ITS RISKS

Venture Capital is money provided by "Private Investors" to finance a new, growing, troubled and business expansion venture.

The Venture Capitalist provides the funding knowing that there's a significant risk associated with the company's future profits and cash flow.

Capital is invested in exchange for an equity stake in the business rather than given as a loan, and the investor hopes the investment will yield a better-than-average return.

Venture or Private Capital is an important source of funding for start-up and other companies that have a limited operating history and don't have access to capital markets.

A Venture Capital firm (VC) or Private Equity Investors (PEI) typically looks for new and small businesses with a perceived long-term growth potential that will result in a large payout for investors.

A Venture Capitalist PEI is not necessarily just one wealthy financier.

Most VCs or PEIs are limited partnerships that have a fund of pooled investment capital with which to invest in a number of companies.

They vary in size from firms that manage just a few million dollars cash worth of investments to much larger VCs that may have billions of dollars invested in companies globally.

VCs and PEIs may be a small group of investors or an affiliate or subsidiary of a large commercial bank, investment bank, or insurance company that makes investments on behalf clients of the parent company or Private Investors.

In any case, the VC and PEI aims to use its business knowledge, experience and expertise to fund and nurture companies that will yield a substantial return on the VC or PEI's investment, generally within three to twenty years.

Not all VC and PEI investments pay off. The failure rate can be quite high, and in fact, anywhere from 20 percent to 90 percent of portfolio companies may fail to return on the VC or PEI's investment.

On the other hand, if a VC or PEI does well, a fund can offer returns of 300 to 1,000 percent.

In additional to a portion of the equity, a VC and PEI expects to have a say in how its portfolio company operates. Ideally, the VC fosters growth at the company through its involvement in managerial, strategic, and planning decisions.

To do this, the VC and PEI relies on the expertise of its general partners who may be former CEOs, bankers, or experts in a particular industry. In most cases, one or more general partners of the VC take Board of Director positions at a portfolio company.

They may also help recruit key executives to the portfolio company.

It's important to do your homework before approaching a VC for funding, to make sure you're targeting the right potential partner for your business needs. Not all VCs and PEIs invest in 'start-ups.'

While Venture Partners may have to invest small amounts of "seed" capital for very early ventures, many focus on early or expansion funding while still others may invest at the end of the business cycle, specializing in buyouts, turnarounds, or re-capitalisations.
