How Can I Find the Right Investor For My Business Needs?

There are several factors that you need to take into consideration before actually contacting your prospective investor

USA, AL (prHWY.com) November 25, 2012 - USA, Nov 25, 2012 - There are several factors that you need to take into consideration before actually contacting your prospective investor. There are many things you need to look into, such as stage, industry, and geographic preference. Furthermore, you should also look at their portfolio companies, who they are and what they do. You will see all of this below.

Stage Preference

Investors - Basically, stage refers to the stage that your company is in. If you are pre-prototype, or your prototype has just been developed, you are either seed stage or early stage. These stages are usually the highest risk stages for investors, but their ROI, or return on investment could be very high. On the other hand if your company is at a later stage and already has a regular flow of clients, the risk is generally lower to the investor. If your company is either seed or early stage, you will need an investor who is more than likely a venture capitalist and specializes in high risk investments. On the other hand, if you are a company that is already established and needs bridge funding or expansion funding, you need an investment firm or a private equity firm that specializes in the later stages of a company's life. This means that you will need an investor, who's stage preference is either later stage, growth or expansion stage, or mezzanine stage. These are usually stages of companies who are ready for a liquidation event, where the investors exit and make their profits.

Geographic Preference

Property Investors - Geographic preference is equally as important as an investor's stage preference. Your company may fit an investor's stage preference, but you may not be in the right geographic location that a particular investor might invest in. There are different investors throughout the world and the smaller firms might just invest in a particular geographic location, whereas some of the larger global investment firms will invest internationally. Sometimes this is shown on their websites, and sometimes not. A good way to figure out what geographic location an investor prefers is by looking at its portfolio companies and the countries where they are located.

Industry Preference

Industry preference is just as important as the both above mentioned preferences. Usually investors invest in the industries that their partners or portfolio companies have expertise in. When looking for an investor, you need to look at the industry that you are in and you want to have an investor who has the expertise in the same industry that you are in.
