Private Equity Financing

In the world of business, private equity financing is termed as way of raising capital by selling business shares to investors. The capital which is raised through private equity financing is not paid back in installments along with interest, unlike debt financing. In its place, investors become partial owner of that particular business by putting money in it. Then they are entitled to share profit of a business over time. Within three to five years, most investors wait for a return on their investment.

Friends and family is the common source of private equity for business owners. Unlike personal loan, once business starts making profit, investments done by family and friends are paid back, although it might take several years. Often, it has been observed that with the operating cash flow of business, business owners fix payments to investors. One can say that when the business grow and makes profits, investors also make money. And once they get specific set of return on their investments, they usually get rid of that business in which they are involved. Usually, family and friends investments are made at the initial stage of business but as it grow and proves its worth, the business start getting financing from angel investors . While venture capitalists and angel investors are lumped jointly as one funding source, actually they provide two different functions.


The Private Equity Advantage

As it is said that private equity financing is not for all but it provides greeting option for debt financing to several business owners. In fact, private equity financing against debt financing cannot be charged with two major gripes business owners’ level due to risk with personally guaranteeing a loan and the constraint placed by it on available cash flow. Private equity eradicates the drawbacks of debt in that and for paying down debt, it does not divert capital from the business rather it shares risk in the business along with the entrepreneur.

Another advantage of private equity is that you don’t need to pay right back to investors after they provide funding to your business. It means that one has more time for growing his business before he starts worrying about how he will how he will pay for it or not.  And in case business fails totally, one doesn’t have to repay. It is fact that investors either swim or sink or alongside the business owners.
