Equity Finance is the share capital that is invested in the business for the medium and long term for the share of ownership in, or in a few cases element of the control and influence over any business. The main benefit of our Equity Financing services is that it isn’t repayable in a short and medium term. The equity investors may expect the return generally over 3 - 8 year time in the form of the dividends (where suitable) and from the sale of the share of business when any business ‘exits’ through the trade sale and flotation. To the prospective investors, the Equity investment is one highest risk part of the capital, and they may expect the highest form of the return in the medium and long term.
Equity Financing services will help you to make most of the return when business gets sold or floated. Suppose you aren’t contemplating an eventual sale and float of the business then the Equity Financing won’t be suitable for you. Equity Financing service will take the highest risk of all the prospective investors. Since providers of capital are on the highest risk, they can expect the high return on the investment and make returns of the magnitude required these investors are generally investing in the businesses with very high and quick growth opportunities. Suppose your business doesn’t have any potential to grow or to grow fast then the Equity Finance is probably not an option for you.
The risk and nature of the Equity Finance mean providers of such type of capital may often take the active interest or involvement (non-executive) in the business. They also will place some restrictions on things that you are allowed to do with no specific consent.
For the managers and businesses focused on the strategy of the fast growth of exit then involvement and support of Equity Investor and limited restrictions they can impose don’t represent the material challenge however if you’re the type of the business owner that will find this kind of regime a challenge Equity Finance isn’t for you.`
