Why are Venture capitalists needed?
The capitalist providing money will in return acquire an equity position. This equity financing mainly happens where the business is not established and which can’t access business loans from financial bodies due to shortage of cash incomes, deficit of security e.t.c
The Controlling Authority:
The Venture capitalists will have an active participation in the business operations and thus a controlling power in such firms.In case of selling of shares or any such cases due to the well organised investment structure,the Venture Investors are eligible for rewards.There will be an individual who will be the board member and take part in all the key decision making and administrational & managerial operations and even funding & financing.Usually the managerial layout will be as a partnership firm,where each individual will have the responsibility and authority according to the equity share and receive the profit according to the equity share.
