- Short term (less than 1 year)- Used to provide WC to finance inventory , account

receivables, or operation of business

will decide. Amount of equity depend on nature & size of venture Equity provides basis for Debt financing.

Page


Internal funds

Most frequently employed funds Sources: profits, sale of assets, reduction in WC, receivables, selling

little used assets. Extended payment terms from suppliers. Collecting bills quickly Avoid this policy for mass merchandisers

Page


External funds

External source are evaluated on 3 basis

- Length of time the funds are available- The costs involved- Amount of company control lost

Sources :

- Self , family & friends, banks, small business administrative loans, R&D limited partnership, Govt grants etc. . . . . .

Page


PERSONAL FUNDS

Not only these are the least expensive funds in terms of cost & control,

but they are absolutely essential in attracting outside funding.

The outside providers of capital feel that the entrepreneur may not be

sufficiently committed to the venture, if he/she doesn’t have money

invested.

The invested amount by the entrepreneur may be negligible but

valuable here to outside providers.

It is the money which makes outside investors feel comfortable with here

commitment level.

Page


FUNDS FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Family and friends are the next most common source of capital for a new venture.

This helps overcome one portion of uncertainty felt by impersonal investors.

There are both positive and negative aspects. Negative side: even though being a small amount if its in the form of

equity financing, then which may have a negative effect on employees sales and profit.

Positive side: Family and friends are not problem investors and in fact more patient than other investors in desiring the a return their investment.

Page


IN ORDER TO AVOID PROBLEMS BY THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS’S INVESTMENT If the family and friends are treated the same as any investor, potential

future conflicts can be avoided. Any loans should specify the rate of interest and proposed repayment

schedule of interest and principal. A formal agreement like rights and responsibilities of the investors and

what happens if the business fails, must all be agreed upon and written down.

Finally the entrepreneur should carefully consider the impact of the investment on the family member or friend before it is accepted.

Structure of Venture Capital Firms

Page


Over view of VC

Before World War II, venture capital investments (originally known as

"development capital") were primarily the domain of wealthy individuals and

families.

ARDC is credited with the first major venture capital success story when its

1957 investment of $70,000 in Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) would be

valued at over $355 million after the company's initial public offering in 1968.

The public successes of the venture capital industry in the 1970s and early

1980s.

The growth of the industry was hampered by sharply declining returns and

certain venture firms began posting losses for the first time.

Professor Andrew Metrick refers to first 15 years of the modern venture capital

industry beginning in 1980 as the "pre-boom period" in anticipation of the

boom that would begin in 1995 and last through the bursting of the Internet

Bubble in 2000.

As a percentage of GDP, venture investment was 0.058% percent in 1994,

peaked at 1.087% (nearly 19x the 1994 level) in 2000 and ranged from 0.164%

to 0.182 % in 2003 and 2004.

A STRONG MGT TEAM consists of individuals with solid experience &

backgrounds, a strong commitment to the co., capabilities in their specific areas

of expertise the ability to meet challenges and the flexibility to scramble wherever

necessary.

THE PRODUCT/MKT OPPORTUNITY MUST BE UNIQUE, having a differential

advantage in a growing market. Securing a unique niche is essential since the

product or service must be able to compete & grow during the investment period.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY MUST HAVE A SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL APPRECIATION

The venture capitalist typically expects a 40 to 60 percent return on investment in

most investment situations.


Four Stages

PRELIMINARY SCREENING

Starts with the receipt of Business Plan by the venture capitalist. Determines if

the deal or similar deals have been seen previously. Then, determines if the

proposal fits his or her long-term needs in developing a portfolio balance.

Investigates the economy of the industry and evaluates weather he or she has

the appropriate knowledge and ability to invest in that industry. Reviews

weather the deal can deliver the ROI required. The credentials and capability of

the mgt team are evaluated to determine if they can carry out the plan presented.

AGREEMENT ON PRINCIPAL TERMS

The venture capitalist wants a basic understanding of the process before making

the major commitment of the time and effort involved in the formal due

diligence process.


Stages Con…

DETAILED REVIEW AND DUE DILIGENCE

It is the longest stage, involving anywhere from one to three months. There is a

detailed review of the company’s history, the business plan, the resumes of the

individuals, their financial history, and target customers. The upside potential

and downside risk are assessed; and there is a thorough evaluation of the

markets, industry, finances, suppliers, customers and mgt. FINAL APPROVAL

A comprehensive, internal investment memorandum is prepared. This document

reviews the venture capitalist’s findings and details the investment terms and

conditions of the investment transaction. This information is used to prepare the

formal legal documents that both the entrepreneur and venture capitalist will

sign to finalize the deal.


Locating Venture Capitalists

An entrepreneur should carefully research the names and addresses of

prospective venture-capital firms that might have an interest in the particular

investment opportunity. There are also regional and national venture capital

associations. For a nominal fee or none at all, these associations will frequently

send the entrepreneur a directory that lists their members, the types of business

their members invest in, and any investment restrictions. Whenever possible, the

entrepreneur should be introduced to the venture capitalist. Bankers,

accountants, lawyers, and professors are good sources for introductions.
