 Raising Entrepreneurial CapitalJohn B. Vinturella and

in Elsevier Monographs from Elsevier, currently edited by Candice Janco Abstract: Raising Entrepreneurial Capital guides the reader through the stages of successfully financing a business. The book proceeds from a basic level of business knowledge, assuming that the reader understands simple financial statements, has selected a specific business, and knows how to write a business plan. It provides a broad summary of the subjects that people typically research, such as "How should your company position itself to attract private equity investment?" and "What steps can you take to improve your company's marketability?" Much has changed since the book was first published, and this second edition places effects of the global recession in the context of entrepreneurship, including the debt vs. equity decision, the options available to smaller businesses, and the considerations that lead to rapid growth, including venture capital, IPOs, angels, and incubators. Unlike other books of the genre, Raising Entrepreneurial Capital includes several chapters on worldwide variations in forms and availability of pre-seed capital, incubators, and the business plans they create, with case studies from Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific Rim. Combines solid theory with a practitioner's experience and insights Case studies illustrate theory throughout the book Updated to reflect the realities of the global economic recession Keywords: 5 Cs; Accredited investor; Agent versus reseller; Angel investor; Arm's length; Asset-based financing; Asset-based valuation; Average collection period (ACP); Bootstrapping; Business format franchise; C-corporation; Capitalization; Capitalization rate; Capitalization table; Carried interest; Cash budget; Cash conversion cycle (CCC); Competitive advantage; Contingent liability; Conversion franchise; Corporate venture capital; Cost of capital; Days payables outstanding (DPO); Direct public offering; Doing business internationally; Due diligence; ESOP; Earn-out; Earnings multiples; Entrepreneur; Exit strategy; Factoring; Financial risk; Fractional entrepreneurship; Franchise agreement; Franchise disclosure document (FDD); Franchise fees; Franchisee; Franchisor; Free cash flow; Global mind-set; Initial public offering (IPO); Initial public offerings; Intellectual property; International business partners; International stock exchanges; Inventory conversion period (ICP); Investment proposal; Knowledge assets; Legal and regulatory issues; Leverage buyout; Line of credit; Line of credit (LOC); Liquidity event; Loan guarantee; Loan guarantee programs; Market multiple; Nonbank lenders; Operational risk; Partnership; Personal collateral; Pledging; Postmoney valuation; Private equity; Pro forma; Pro forma financial statements; Product/trade name franchise; Pure risk; Raising capital internationally; Regional considerations; Revenue-based financing; Reverse merger; Risk control; Royalties; Sole proprietorship; Speculative risk; Stages of growth; Statement of cash flows; Strategic risk; Term sheet; Term sheets; Testing international markets; Trade credit; Underwriter; Venture banking; Venture capital; Weighted average cost of capital; Working capital management (search for similar items in EconPapers) Downloads: (external link) Related works: Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/Text Persistent link: https://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:eee:monogr:9780124016668 Access Statistics for this book More books in Elsevier Monographs from Elsevier |
