Funding

Capti Innovation Business Funding Options

Whether you’re a new business entrepreneur or a start-up company looking to expand further, there are several ways to secure business funding with Capti Startup Business Funding Options.

Loans

Capti Startup Business Funding Options Usually granted to well-established businesses that can provide security to borrow against and can prove a prior history of credit, stability and financial growth. These criteria make it hard for a start-up business to qualify, even if it’s only for a small loan. Add to that bank and credit companies’ reluctance to lend money in today’s struggling economy, and approval for high-risk loans is becoming more improbable.

Equity

A third source of business funding is equity. Business angels, or private investors, can provide start-up equity, called seed capital. For young companies, private equity investors are a great source for securing initial financing. Business angels usually provide seed capital in the range from £10,000 to £400,000, plus business angels offer their business expertise and contacts to help their investments grow.
