How Equity Finance Could Boost Your Business

An attractive business proposition is what investors look for – solid business ideas; great potential; fast return on investment.

Equity finance is how you offer them this and at the same time attract experienced business people with established contacts into your life. In effect, they get a percentage ownership of your business, so if you are happy with this idea in return for the plus points they bring, then this type of financing might just be for you. But let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits:

• It’s generally a medium to long term investment rather than a short-term fix
• The money is repaid gradually over time as your business grows
• There’s no loan interest to pay
• Investors bring with them valuable business contacts and experience
• There is the chance of further funding if you are successful
• Investors take on a share of business risks

Getting a bank loan these days is no joke. Equity finance offers a good alternative for start-ups in particular. A low-cost method of entering the target market, you quickly make a significant impact and build your profile.
