Foreign investors
Are you running a business in a developing country where there are few local investors, which only invest in sure things, and only regarding vast amounts of money? You should then consider about searching for foreign investors, which are willing to offer you venture capital funds and help you expand your business.
When you do not have the necessary amount of money, you may reach a standstill point where you cannot evolve even though you know you can do much better.
Foreign investors can be more demanding than local investors. You will have to present a perfect development strategy and good references. Before you accept an investment from a VC fund, make sure you both want the same thing when it comes the future of the company. Some investment firms may delegate a person which speaks a common language to keep in touch with you and if needed advise you in delicate situations.
Don’t make any deals just on the phone. Meet the investors in person and try to find out more about the way they work and if possible make some research on your own to see in what other companies they have invested and how that worked out. When it comes to foreign investments, you will actually have a bigger chance to get private equity than venture capital or even angel investment.
Look first in the surrounding countries. Investors are more confident in pushing money in companies they can easily keep an eye on and if needed visit and see for themselves how things are going over there. You also have bigger chances of obtaining an investment if you company is scalable and can reach for a global market if not in the present at least in the future. You should have a strong marketing plan to back that up.
It is not that hard to find investors from other countries and it is plainly simple if you use the VCgate database of 4300 updated investment funds that you cannot find online. Click here to access the money you need to grow your business.
