Venture Capital Funding

wpadmin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 01:54:52 +0000

Whether it’s starting a new company or expanding upon an existing one, venture capital funding is a common approach. Venture capital comes directly from private investors or groups who are looking to make a profit by investing in somewhat riskier business deals that public financing usually stays away from. As such, venture capitalists usually require a high return on their investments and pay close attention to the operations of the company.Attracting venture capital funding is not always an easy thing to accomplish, especially for startup companies. It is important for businesses to highlight the potential monetary gains that such ventures could yield, while downplaying the associated risks. Finding this particular balance is crucial when wooing or trying to entice venture capitalists into funding a project.

At Business Capital, we specialize in helping companies find the venture capital funding they need. With over 10 years of experience in the field, we understand what investors and shareholders are looking for and we help our clients present their investments in the best possible light. We work closely with each of our clients, ensuring that we have a deep understanding of their goals, without interfering with the day-to-day operations of their business.

Whether your company needs financing for expansion, acquisitions or advice on management buyouts or financial planning, our experts can provide the support you need. If your company is suddenly facing financial turmoil, we can help restructure your debt, improving your company’s efficiency while helping you avoid the need to turn to your backers for help.

Strategic Restructuring

wpadmin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 01:57:48 +0000

Having the right business strategy is one of the keys to success. Nevertheless, if a company is unable to adapt to shifting conditions, its initial strategy could end up leading it into financial trouble. The competitive nature of the business world is such that companies need to constantly rethink their approaches in order to maintain their growth and profitability. This is especially true if a company finds itself dealing with debt and is unable to regain its financial health on its own.The old adage of being “unable to see the forest for the trees” springs to mind when thinking about companies that are deep in debt. The pressures that come with trying to juggle payments and creditors can be frustrating, making it seem as though there are no solutions in sight. In such cases, it is a far more effective approach to turn to an outside company that can help develop the right strategic restructuring plan.

For over 10 years, we at Business Capital have provided guidance and advice to hundreds of companies facing financial crisis. Our strategic restructuring services are designed to alleviate a company’s debt while also increasing its capital, allowing it a quick return to profitability. In fact, our experts are so efficient that our customized turnaround solutions usually lead to significant results in as little as 90 days.

Maintaining good, professional work relationships is another key to a business’s success and survival. When faced with financial strife, it is important to take a proactive approach and commit oneself to finding a solution. At Business Capital, we take great pride in being able to get companies back on their feet while ensuring that their business relationships remain intact.

Restructuring Venture Backed Companies

wpadmin — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 14:40:57 +0000

Venture capital investing is certainly a risky venture. That is what demands the high reward for those who are bold enough to invest in and develop a project without an established track record. While the goal is to maximize the return in an investment, some statistics show that 35 percent of all venture projects experience some sort of loss on the initial capital invested, while 7 percent of projects result in 50 percent of the profits.With such an asymmetric distribution, many investors have recently become less inclined accepting losses as part of their assumed risk in such ventures. Sometimes venture capital firms find themselves in a quandary as to whether it is in their best interest to continue funding a losing investment, wind down a company, or simply force management to give up much more equity in return for providing more funds to pay off old debts.

This is where Business Capital comes in. We present you with the option of restructuring the corporate debt on a 100 percent contingency fee basis. Business Capital has developed a proven, effective way to eliminate debt for venture backed businesses that find themselves in financially distressed situations. In the case of venture capital, no one likes to invest more money in order to pay off past debts, but would rather invest in the growth and expansion of a venture.

As an example, conventional wisdom would put a financially distressed venture backed entrepreneur in the position of requesting more funds from his investors before the investment has realized sustained profitability. This may or may not be in the best interest of the investor or the venture backed company, depending upon timing, return on investment potential, or even the desire to risk funding a riskier investment.

As a professional turnaround company, we can provide an intermediate option. By slashing the corporate debt and burn rate, we can ultimately improve the financial health of the business. We reduce the risk of the investor making an additional round of funding to a project on the cusp of profitability and at the same time increase the value of the venture backed company.

Our venture capital backed clients take no risk in engaging Business Capital to restructure their corporate debt. Our number-one concern in a restructuring is the financial viability of our client. By examining several variables–including but not limited to capital structure, quick ratio, aged payables, and leveraged positions–we are able to put together a strategy that will induce creditors to amicably settle and sign off on the liabilities as paid in full. In doing so, we are compensated on a contingency basis. Unlike attorneys, we do not increase transaction costs by charging for billable hours, court appearances, or stretched out payment plans. In short, we are not compensated until your debt is restructured.

Please consider our services as a tool in order for you to increase return. Our service will allow you to augment the staff of your company and allow management to focus on revenue-generating activities instead of responding to and paying down creditors whose products or services provide little or no contribution to the bottom line. We will slash your burn rate, improve the balance sheet, and stop the bleed.

Business Capital strives to build the trust rapport and respect for a productive business relationship. Our references are freely available upon request and will attest to our ability and experience.

Restructuring Sole Proprietorships

wpadmin — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:38:03 +0000

Sole proprietorships are one of the easiest–but also one of the riskiest–types of companies to start. The reason for this is simple: all responsibilities of a sole proprietorship rely entirely on the owner. There are absolutely no limitations of liability in place, such as those that protect corporations. To that end, although all the profits are used as the sole owner sees fit, the sole proprietor is also 100 percent responsible for all of the debts.The simplicity of starting a sole proprietorship is also one of its primary downfalls. In many cases, those who start such companies have little to no experience in the business world, without a tested formula to increase profitability, leading to an increased possibility for financial trouble. Even worse, when such problems do arise, many owners simply turn to bankruptcy in hopes of either saving their companies or some of their assets. In truth, bankruptcy is not the only solution, and in many cases is far from being the better one. A business turnaround involving business debt restructuring is usually a better and more profitable alternative.

At Business Capital, the business debt restructuring of sole proprietorships is a specialty we have perfected. Our experts have helped countless companies rebound from financial turmoil, leading them back onto the road of success. Whether you have trouble paying your creditors or feel that excess debt is stifling your growth, we can provide you with the outlets and approaches needed to increase profitability and protect your company’s (and therefore your own) personal credit. Our business debt restructuring services can help you get back on the path to profitability in no time, with less time and expense than going through a formal court proceeding.

We understand that dealing with financial trouble can be overwhelming, especially when your company’s financial health is inextricably linked to your own. Waiting for things to resolve themselves is a recipe for disaster. Timing is usually a key ingredient for a successful business turnaround and avoiding bankruptcy. Contact us today at (888) 499-4775 and see how our agents can create a restructuring plan for your sole proprietorship that could help reduce your debt and save you from bankruptcy.

Restructuring Small to Midcap Companies

wpadmin — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:36:23 +0000

Managing debt is an integral part of any business. Throughout the life of a company, there are moments of great success and times where finances are tight. In many situations, financial pressures can be such that companies feel forced to look into bankruptcy as a way to alleviate their problems.

Our primary goal is a simple one: to improve our clients’ financial health while satisfying their particular creditors. How do we achieve this?

Restructuring Public Companies

wpadmin — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:39:39 +0000

As opposed to a private company, where the owners are usually limited to a select few, public companies are available to purchase to anyone wishing to buy. Individuals purchase shares via the stock market, the total of which represents the percentage of ownership they have in the company. Since shares can be bought and sold openly, the financial health of public companies is carefully monitored. Any sign of trouble can lead countless investors to discard their shares, creating even larger problems.It is essential for a company’s survival for it to remain proactive, especially when it is facing financial strife. At Business Capital, we specialize in restructuring public companies dealing with excessive debt or other forms of financial turmoil. We offer a variety of individualized solutions and approaches designed to reduce debt, increase capital and protect companies from the dangers of bankruptcy.

Jumping straight into the “protection” provided by bankruptcy can have serious negative consequences for a publicly traded company. Most corporate entities do it because they see no other alternative. Fortunately, at Business Capital, offering alternatives is what we do best. Whether your company is hampered by its level of debt or has a specific financial area that needs to be addressed, our experts have unparalleled experience when it comes to restructuring public companies. Let us assess your situation and provide you with a comprehensive plan that can help you maximize your business’s success.

Restructuring Companies and Protecting Vendor Continuity

wpadmin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:34:54 +0000

Preserving vendor relations is an important part of business for every company. Having a good relationship with vendors can lead to better deals, which could include price breaks or a larger line of credit. On the other hand, if the relationship sours due to financial stress, vendors can rapidly become difficult to deal with, as their primary concern will shift to collecting what they are due as opposed to providing the company with what they need.Financial difficulty can come to any company, no matter its size. When debt becomes unmanageable, using professionals for business restructuring early in the game is highly effective when a business turnaround is necessary. During a cash crisis, a business’s relationship to its vendors is usually among the first casualties. If a company decides to use bankruptcy as a way of settling its finances, the consequences can be quite drastic, with vendors often no longer wishing to do business with the company in the future.

At Business Capital, we specialize in restructuring companies and protecting vendor continuity. Instead of opting for bankruptcy, we offer a number of effective solutions designed to reduce a company’s debt and help maintain its obligations to its vendors. We understand how market fluctuations can drastically affect a company’s cash flow, and we espouse a proactive philosophy where we work with creditors and vendors to ensure that situations are resolved amicably.

No matter the industry, at Business Capital, we have over a decade of experience restructuring companies and protecting vendor continuity. Before giving up and going through bankruptcy, contact our experts to discover the options you may have never known you had. Our initial consultation is free and can be scheduled by calling us at (888) 499-4775 or by filling out our online information form.

Reduce Operating Costs

wpadmin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 01:59:19 +0000

Finding ways to reduce operating costs is typically a priority for most companies. Unfortunately, selecting what is needed and what is expendable is far from an easy task. Overlooking the importance of this process can be detrimental, especially when a company is facing financial hardship. The initial tendency is to “slash and burn” everything that seems extraneous. Although this may save money in the short term, over time it may actually do more damage than good.In business, it’s important to think through every decision. Even the hiring or firing of a single employee could shift the balance tremendously. Nevertheless, when facing financial difficulties, companies rarely have the time nor the perspective to truly assess what is best for them. In such situations, using an outside entity is an effective way to get a true assessment of how to reduce operating costs.

At Business Capital, our experts have helped countless companies from all industries find the most effective ways to reduce their operating costs. We work diligently to look at a company’s entirety to determine how best to proceed. From the level of debt to expenses and personnel, everything is taken into account from a neutral standpoint. This allows us to provide subjective feedback, giving our clients the most efficient solutions to their problems.

Reducing operating costs should never simply be about keeping a business alive. It should be about making a company profitable once again. At Business Capital, we truly believe that our success only comes with our clients’ success, and we prove it by working on a 100 percent contingency fee basis. Contact us today at (888) 499-4775 to schedule a free initial consultation where we can show you the types of services we offer that can make your company profitable again.

Project Financing

wpadmin — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:06:50 +0000

In order for companies to remain competitive, it is important for them to grow and continuously pursue new outlets. Nevertheless, developing new projects can be costly. Most businesses do not have the resources necessary to fund their own projects, which is why they often require the need of outside investors.Finding the right project financing can be a tricky process. At Business Capital, our experts help our clients by advising them on the proper process to secure the financing they need. We work closely with each of our clients, taking into account their current situations, future goals, and expectations. Based on this information, we help create the materials needed to attract investors and even help negotiate the terms, conditions, and commitments related to the project financing.

At Business Capital, we pride ourselves on offering advisory services for a wide range of transactions. These include, but are not limited to, convertible securities, private equity, public shells and secured asset financing. Why go through the process alone, when you can take advantage of our unparalleled support?

No matter what your industry is, we urge you to contact us directly at (888) 499-4775, or fill out our online information form to schedule a free initial consultation.

Judgment Proof

wpadmin — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:20:01 +0000

Being judgment proof is not a permanent condition and only lasts as long as the court decides for each specific case. What does the term mean? Simply put, an individual or entity is judgment proof if, after losing a court judgment that requires them to pay back a debt, they show that they are unable to make such payment. The ruling provides the debtor with an extension to pay what is owed, but it doesn’t eliminate the debt.Companies dealing with massive amounts of debt often feel as though their options are limited. Even if they are able to get a legal reprieve from repayment, finding the money isn’t easy. Most importantly, while companies focus on repaying debt, they are turning their attention away from their actual businesses. At Business Capital, we offer effective solutions for companies dealing with unmanageable debt that allow them to get back on their feet and on the road to financial success.

Why deal with the complexities of the legal system if you don’t have to? We have over ten years of experience in the industry negotiating with creditors and vendors, achieving amicable agreements. By making debt repayment more manageable, our clients are able to retain their business relationships while also freeing the money they need to see their company grow. Why stagnate when we can help you reach the next level?

As opposed to many of our competitors, we at Business Capital believe in creating a partnership with our clients. We work closely to help ensure their success, without interfering with their day-to-day affairs. Since we work on a 100 percent contingency fee basis, we are motivated to see them succeed–their success is our success. We urge you to contact us at (888) 499-4775 for more information.
