If i have lived in my home for less than a year, and I put 50K down when i bought it – Will I have to pay gains on the 50K if I do not put it into another real estate venture?

Are banks and interest really needed?

If I buy a house, then I can take a loan, from a bank, with the obligation to pay back the loan at a certain minimum amount per month or year, with zero interest. Why is the interest needed other than to keep the bank going? I could take the loan directly from the government, and no bank is then really necessary.

Then what about if a company wanted to take a huge loan? The answer is: they will have to get money from venture capital companies, and the agreement they make is a deal between the company that wants the loan and the venture capital company that provides the money. No banks needed.
The same with other services banks provide. They could be done by ordinary companies.
I understand that in practice, banks are deeply integrated into society. But in theory, are banks and interest really needed? Would it be possible to have a totally interest-free economy?

What is Venture Capital
Posted by admin on 23 May 2010 5:12 am. Filed under Business.

Venture capital is an important source of funding for start-up and other companies that have a limited operating history and don’t have access to capital markets. A venture capital firm (VC) typically looks for new and small businesses with a perceived long-term growth potential that will result in a large payout for investors.
Who is a Venture Capitalist?
A venture capitalist is not necessarily just one wealthy financier. Most VCs are limited partnerships that have a fund of pooled investment capital with which to invest in a number of companies. They vary in size from firms that manage just a few million dollars worth of investments to much larger VCs that may have billions of dollars invested in companies all over the world. VCs may be a small group of investors or an affiliate or subsidiary of a large commercial bank, investment bank, or insurance company that makes investments on behalf clients of the parent company or outside investors. In any case, the VC aims to use its business knowledge, experience and expertise to fund and nurture companies that will yield a substantial return on the VC’s investment, generally within three to seven years.
Returns for Investors:
Not all VC investments pay off. The failure rate can be quite high, and in fact, anywhere from 20 percent to 90 percent of portfolio companies may fail to return on the VC’s investment. On the other hand, if a VC does well, a fund can offer returns of 300 to 1,000 percent.
Partnership:
In additional to a portion of the equity, a VC expects to have a say in how its portfolio company operates. Ideally, the VC fosters growth at the company through its involvement in managerial, strategic, and planning decisions. To do this, the VC relies on the expertise of its general partners who may be former CEOs, bankers, or experts in a particular industry. In most cases, one or more general partners of the VC take Board of Director positions at a portfolio company. They may also help recruit key executives to the portfolio company.
Size of Funding:
It’s important to do your homework before approaching a VC for funding, to make sure you’re targeting the right potential partner for your business needs. Not all VCs invest in ’start-ups.’ While some may invest small amounts of “seed” capital for very early ventures, many focus on early or expansion funding, while still others may invest at the end of the business cycle, specializing in buyouts, turnarounds, or recapitalizations.
Investment Preferences:
VCs may be generalists that invest in a variety of industries and locations. More typically, they specialize in a particular industry. Make sure your company falls within the VC’s target industry before you make your pitch – a VC that’s focused on biotechnology start-ups will not consider your request for later-stage funding for expansion of your semiconductor firm. You can often gain insight into a VC’s investment preferences by reviewing its website.
In addition to industry preferences, VCs also typically have a geographic preference. Being in the same general location as a portfolio company allows the VC to better assist with business operations such as marketing, personnel, and financing.
Keep in mind that venture capital is not an option for all new businesses. In fact, VCs are very selective in choosing new companies to invest in, so your company may not qualify. They’re most interested in businesses with high growth potential that will allow them to successfully exit with a higher than average return in a time frame of roughly three to 10 years, depending on the type of investment. Given the rigorous expectations, most venture funding goes to companies in rapidly expanding industries such as technology, biotechnology, and life sciences.

Venture Capitalists – Cash For Shares

Venture Capital is a type of private equity that works on the basis of cash being invested into businesses in exchange for a share of a business. Venture Capitalists don’t however just offer their skills to a business; they also provide managerial and technical expertise.
Venture Capital is popular among new companies and new ventures. Many of these Venture Capitalists who invest in your business have a background in being chief executives at firms and investment bankers as well as connections with other firms in corporate investment and finance spaces.
Venture Capital is a viable source of financing for a business. Venture Capitalists have the option of investing at any stage of business, whether it is business start up or investing in an established business; however more typically than not a Venture Capitalist will invest in a more established and on going business.
When is comes to the type of businesses that Venture Capitalists invest in they are free to invest in which ever business sector they please, even though if you look at the trend of Venture Capitalists you will see that the main businesses that Venture Capitalists invest in are high tech such as research and development, electronics and gaming industries. Venture Capitalists also deal in large sums of money, which often run into millions of dollars.
Most Venture Capital arrangements have a fixed life of ten years and it should be noted that a Venture Capitalist isn’t suitable for all entrepreneurs; same as not all businesses get the opportunity to use the help of a Venture Capitalist. The Venture Capital market is very selective; a Venture Capitalist may only invest in one in 400 hundred opportunities that are presented to them, so if you want to attract a Venture Capitalist you need to have a well documented business plan and you need to be able to demonstrate how your business will be able to bring in enough capital after the help of a Venture Capitalist has been invested in your business.
If a business does posses the qualities that a Venture Capitalist is looking for, such as a solid business plan, a good management team, investment and passion from the founders, a good potential to exit the investment before the end of their funding cycle and target minimum returns in excess of 40% per year, you will find it easier to get a Venture Capitalist to invest in your business.
A Venture Capitalist will also consider aspects such as:
o Is your product or service commercially viable?
o Does your business have potential for sustained growth?
o Does your management team have the ability to use this potential and control the business through growth phases?
o Does the possible reward justify the risk involved in the investment?
o Does the potential financial return meet the investment criteria of the Venture Capitalist?
Almost three million people in the UK are employed by companies backed by venture capital, according to the British Venture Capital Association. Many of these companies might not be in existence without the injection of cash and guidance venture capitalists provide.

Things Anyone Should Know About Venture Capital Investment

Everyone has a good idea. The hard part is turning that dream in the head or on paper into a reality. One of the biggest stumbling blocks is money because without the much-needed capital, it is impossible to make it happen.
The entrepreneur can get a loan from the bank to help with this endeavor. But if the interest rates are to high or the person does not have collateral, then this is not such a good idea after all.
The best thing to do will be seek out a venture capitalist. The money this person will infuse into the business will go a long way in starting it or keep it going.
The first thing the entrepreneur needs to do is to write a business proposal. Research has shown that more than 80% of those who decided to start something fail in the end because no studies were conducted.
The document must have a clear idea as to direction of the business, how much will be needed as well as how long before the return of investment starts coming in.
It is not that difficult to find a venture capitalist. The hard part is selling the idea because there are also others who will be sending a proposal, which has similar contents in the texts.
Apart from reading the proposal, the entrepreneur will also have to explain this in person why this should be accepted over the others. An ocular inspection of the place will also need to be since such as decision will not be made overnight.
Once hooked and the money is approved, both the entrepreneur and the capitalist investor have made a partnership which will hopefully last for the long term.
The capitalist investor does not only give money. There may be times that the entrepreneur is stuck in a crossroad and this may also offer good advice. After all, the money of the person is in here and will surely do everything possible to get it back with a profit.
In the end, the venture capital investment is similar to a loan but does not have high interest rates compared to a bank. It is also like launching an IPO but without the need to release a certain number of shares to the people.
Will it be beneficial to talk with a venture capitalist? The answer is definitely yes because it becomes a win-win situation for everyone without one side ever getting the better of the other.

I’m looking to open a ****** book- and party supply store, and I was thinking we might have a daycare off to the side so people don’t have to try to find someone to watch their kids while they go buy ****** books, magazines, artsy stuff. I think this is a great idea and will be a huge moneymaker, but I need some startup capital. Where can I get some startup capital??
