Is Venture Capital Right for Your Business?

The first thing you need to consider, before you go contacting venture capital groups, is that most of them are seasoned, professional investors. It will not be easy to get a foot in the front door if your business model/venture is not well structured and well presented. 

In many cases, it is often easy to confuse the need for Venture Capital with an "Actual" need for Angel Investors.

As a rule of thumb, Venture Capital is something that a company seeking capital might explore during its later expansion funding stages and well after it has already raised some initial strategic capital through Private Investors and Angel Investors.

Walking into a Venture Capital Firm with just an idea or a recently incorporated company is not going to work. It will only lead to disappointment.

You need to have solid business plan in place, a credible information memorandum, a suitable share structure, plans to secure and protect I.P., justifiable financial forecasts, a credible management team and much more..

So unless your company is already somewhat advanced in all of these areas, you would probably be wasting your time and their's by approaching them too early in the game.

But don't panic, we just need to understand where to begin the journey and perhaps leave Venture Capital approaches for a little later in the game.

It is also important to note, that any offer needs to be compliant with the Corporations Act 2001, whether it be a Personal Offer of investment to friends, family or business associates, or, an offer of investment to sophisticated & professional investors, or, an offer presented via a Matching Service, or even via an ASIC lodged Disclosure document.
