Stages of Funding
Funding Solutions
We help businesses to prepare business plans, pitch decks and approach various kinds of investors. Some of the popular sources of funding are as follows:
1. Venture Capitals
Venture Capital (VC) delivers startup capital to companies with a high prospective for growth. The venture capital fund takes equity in the startups/ventures it invests in against of the capital provided. Venture Capital finances several stages of business, primarily the seed stage and early-stage startups. Consultants at Tenex helps startups and businesses to understand the process of approaching Venture Capitals and guide them through the process.
2. Angel Investors
Angel Investors are usually high-net-worth individuals or a group of individuals who provide capital for a business start-up, usually in trade for convertible debt or equity. Often angel investors arrange themselves into angel groups or angel networks to inclusively invest in ventures. Consultants at Tenex provide comprehensive guidance through the process if you are looking to raise funds from angel investors.
3. Private Equity Investments
Private Equity investments are preferably made by a private equity firm, a venture capital firm, or an angel investor. Each of these classes of investors has its own set of goals, preferences, and investment strategies that include providing working /operating capital to a target company to support expansion, new product development, or restructuring of the company’s operations, management, or ownership. Private Equity Firms (PE) usually invest in the expansion stage of a business or when the business needs scaling across geographies.
4. Bootstrapping
Bootstrapping sometimes involves beginning a business without external sources, financing, or capital. Such startups fund the event of their company through internal income and are cautious with their expenses. Generally, at the beginning of a venture, a tiny low quantity of cash is going to be put aside for the bootstrapping method. The initial capital is raised from the owner’s funds or raising from friends or family. The operating of such a venture is sometimes on a shoestring budget and involves a special perspective of running such ventures within the initial stages. Consultants at Tenex facilitate entrepreneurs to contour their operations to confirm the setup and functioning of the venture are often achieved inside the budgeted funds.
5. Bank Loans
Bank Loans: Banks and financial institutions provide loans for businesses to set up and grow their business. The loans can be secured or unsecured in nature. Most loans are given against collateral and/or a guarantee. This kind of funding is suitable for specific cases such as manufacturing, land-based businesses, and fixed capital-intensive businesses but for cases where research and development of technology-based intellectual property are involved loans become difficult to get. Consultants at Tenex help businesses through the documentation process to apply for loans.
6. Small Business Loans
Small Business Loans: Some government and private financial institutions globally have specialized loan instruments for entrepreneurs and small business owners. These loans are specifically targeted for the purpose of starting up a business. Consultants at Tenex help businesses with information about such options and guide them through the documentation process to apply for loans.
