"I recently came across your site while browsing the internet. I have a 4 year old recruitment company and need to find an investor to expand. I signed up on your site last week and paid my subscription last Friday. Since then I have had contact from 3 very eager investors and am confident of securing the finance I need to expand and grow my business. I just wanted to thank your company as I find this to be a very professional and worthwhile site. I was reluctant to pay the €149 subscription to the site last week as I was worried that I may never hear from anyone but I was proved wrong and the site is working better than anticipated. Feel free to add this to any testimonial page you may have as it’s a fantastic concept and service you offer and it works."

Private Equity

As an entrepreneur looking to start a new business in the United States of America, you have probably heard the term private equity or private equity firm and wondered what it is, or whether it can help you launch your new business. Simply put a private equity firm, are companies in which third party individuals invest their money into and the private equity firm in turn invests that money into other business, typically to either own that entire business or a share of it.

Private equity firms come in a range of different sizes and typically the largest of these firms will only be looking to invest a lot of money into the largest of business such as high street chains looking for funding. However entrepreneurs in New England and all across the US looking for investment for their business start-ups may find that the smaller private equity firms may be interested in smaller investments although it can be a long time consuming process and difficult to find a private equity firm that will invest.

Whilst private equity firms may offer some entrepreneurs a solution to funding their business start-ups, others may prefer to deal with individuals instead. Therefore private investors, also known as Angel Investors may be the perfect solution. Whilst in many ways a private investor may operate in a similar way to a private equity company, there are some advantages with using a private investor. For example, some private investors are happy to have a more hands on approach and can provide valuable industry experience to a new business. Whilst some business owners may not appreciate this and think of it as meddling, other entrepreneurs welcome all the advice and help that they can get. Private investors are also in the position to act faster than a private equity firm, which can help a business start-up, get underway quicker, especially important if the business has time critical products or services.

For entrepreneurs looking to start a new business, it is important for them to explore all the options for business finance, from investing their own personal money, to private equity firms and private investors. By weighing up the pros and cons of each entrepreneurs can then and only then decide which method is right for them and their new business.

I am an entrepreneur and have concepted and operated small businesses. I now run a Marketing Investment company out of Boston where I invest in and work with entrepreneurs on growing their businesses. My expertise is focused in marketing and branding-I understand well that these areas tend to go untended during any growth phase. But without focus to them its very difficult to sucessfully grow. I have interest in not just being an investor but also in being part of the management team in a hands on/advisory capacity. Do note: I am easy to get along with, dont worry (!), and understand well the many challenges of small business. In the past my focus has been on retail concepts but I also have great interest in other industries where marketing and branding play a central role in generating sales volumes. I am married, live in Boston, and have two young boys ages 1.5 and 3 who keep me busy. Thank you for your time. I look forward to learning about your business.
