Valuation studies should be made by both parties in order to accurately determine the amount and type of debt and equity that will optimize the investment for both the entrepreneur and the investor. Follow-on stages of financing should also be considered. The importance of the cost of capital and the eventual amount of equity dilution to you and your initial shareholders cannot be overstated. Venture Planning Associates will research both public and private sources of capital and debt financing in the U.S. and Asia for your venture. Depending on the size and type of project, a listing of 10 sources will be provided.
Assistance is also available for presentations and negotiations to prospective investors.
