Capital Raising After Writing a Business Plan

Capital raising options for financing a new project include various types of potential investors. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages for its pursuer during the process of capital raising, after writing a business plan.

1. A Private Investor (or in professional terms: an “Angel”) –  Is a wealthy individual who seeks to invest his money is new projects, which will potentially give him better financial return, more than the standard investment options available in the market.
2. A Strategic Investor – Is one who seeks to invest in any plan or idea that meets his ongoing business operation. For example: A well based leading green energy company which promotes a new, relevant project, which integrates successfully with its own business plan.
3. Venture Capital Funds – This mainly refers to those who invest in technological projects and start ups, which involves a greater risk factor (and higher return as well).
4. State Given Sources – Just like the “head scientist”. Investing in technologies and ideas which were defined by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Laborof Israel, under specific requirements, as a high business potential in accordance to the state’s priorities.
5. Private/Public Funds – Occasionally, there are private or public funds available which are designated for developing specific ideas which were prioritized by the state (public funds), or that match the investor’s intents (private funds).

GOOD LUCK!
