BAGGER CAPITAL
If we talk about venture capital operations, we can refer to the financing received by a company that is in a growth or high-risk stage. It is a financial activity that channels and manages money raised from investors to these companies, which normally have some difficulty in accessing other sources of financing. Venture capital firms can only take capital stakes in companies on a temporary basis. Their main objective is to increase the value of these companies and obtain a subsequent profit.
Before the venture capital operations take place, a prior assessment of the business plan of the companies presented is carried out. In addition to a tax, accounting and legal audit of the company. The Investment Committees of the venture capital firms will advise on the advisability of taking stakes in the target companies.
Depending on the profile of the investment, the different venture capital firms may invest in different stages of the company’s growth. In this regard, and in very general terms, the market distinguishes three stages of company growth that should be assessed. Seed (or startup) stage – typical situation of any startup -. Consolidation – these would be companies that start marketing their product or service and need to consolidate. And expansion – which would be an already consolidated company that needs to grow to gain value. In the first case, it is a matter of financing the previously designed business plan. In the second case, to finance the leap to the market and the consolidation of the company. And in the third, to finance the growth and expansion of the company. The venture capital entities will provide the company with the financial resources it needs at that time – according to the approved business plan – via capital or soft loans, and over a medium to long term. All this with the ultimate goal of increasing its value in the market and stand out from the competition.
