Overview: Small businesses never seem to have enough money. Bankers and suppliers, naturally, are important in financing small business growth through loans and credit, but an equally important source of long term. Venture capital financing may have an extra bonus, for if a small firm has an adequate equity base, banks are more willing to extend credit. This article discusses what venture capital firms look for when they analyze a company and its proposal for investment, the kinds of conditions venture firms may require in financing agreements, and the various types of venture capital investors. It stresses upon the importance of formal financial planning as the first step to getting venture capital financing.
