Access To Capital

Capital is business fuel, and no business can move forward without the capital necessary to hire the right staff, fund R&D, build a market presence, develop a distribution channel, and acquire strategic assets.

Before a business can raise capital however, it needs to build an investment case that can be presented to funding sources. You may have seen the cartoon during the dot-com boom when two investors approach an engineer with an offer to give him $2 million to back his company launch. The engineer protests and says, "What? But I don't have any ideas?" The investors respond, "That's ok, we like to get in early."

There was an element of truth in the cartoon, as millions of dollars were rushed into the sketchiest business concepts in order to generate a tech IPO as quickly as possible. Those days are gone probably forever, but investors are still out there, only now they look for quality properties with realistic business plans.
