Outsmarting Those Financial Sharks
by Philip Hochstein
Just when you, the entrepreneur, thinks it's safe to get back into the
financial waters … it is. Whether testing the waters with a toe or taking the
plunge to really put that small- to medium-sized business in high gear, CAPS
Interactive has changed the rules and is knocking down financial barriers.
Named master broker for venture capital by the
American Cash
Flow Association, CAPS Interactive is expanding to offer more help for
accountants, bankers and other service providers seeking equity funding for
their clients.
CAPS Interactive's boutique approach in obtaining hard-to-get financing is
robust, cost-effective and time-efficient. Problems are overcome because its
international sources of funding, accounting and law means that hard-to-fund
deals likely can be handled quickly; impossible deals might take a little
longer. Its stable of resources pride themselves on going where other, ordinary
financial institutions fear to tread.
From venture capital, debt funding to specialty resources to fit a company's
needs, CAPS Interactive's experienced team of experts poses a triple threat.
They provide:
Knowledge tools - information on where you can go and how to approach venture
capital and/or debt funding sources.
People tools - making available professionals in banking, accounting and law.
Attitude tools - attitudes keep you focused on running the business and
helping you present your company to sources that are conducive to getting the
best deals.
CAPS Interactive generally operates as a private intermediary in the funding
process and not the source of funding. CAPS Interactive teaches companies the
"secret handshake" of financing, can help to “open doors,” help get the best
deals, and help avoid deadly pitfalls that amateurs might miss.
Business loans and debt financing deals may be structured in any number of
ways, depending on the needs of the business and the goals of the lenders. Debt
financing can be secured or unsecured. Types of financing include equipment,
real estate, accounts receivables, factoring, bank, private loans and notes, and
government, to name a few.
Are you and your company ready for CAPS Interactive?
According to the annual PriceWaterhouseCoopers Money Tree survey of venture
capital, only 2,715 companies received venture funding in 2003, and only 624 of
those companies were companies getting their first round of venture funding. In
fact, according to the Wall Street Journal of Feb. 3, 2004, commitments to
venture capital funds fell for the last three years. So, if you want to improve
your chances of getting funding to grow your company, then CAPS Interactive can
be the edge you need to succeed.
Home-based in Henderson, NV,
CAPS Interactive's Web
site is a comprehensive cache of information for the small- to medium-sized
business owner on the hunt for funds. Its many services are explained and forms
are available for companies ready to take the first step in seeing if CAPS
Interactive is the way to go. Additionally, the company produces newsletters and
regular My Opinion pieces geared to reach businesses with concerns of funding
goals as well as business success.
Companies that are start-ups, or already in financial difficulties, or have
unusual needs for speed or discretion can potentially fit the CAPS Interactive
requirements. Companies that are outpacing their normal sources for growth or
acquisitions are also prime candidates. If your needs are for equity- or
debt-funding, CAPS Interactive may have the sources to be either your company's
actual salvation or its way to quicker and surer success.
Some of the projects CAPS Interactive's principals have been involved with
include a Vancouver company that has a rocket delivery system for communication
satellites, a Virginia company with revolutionary psychological testing and
intelligence building software, an innovative Florida real estate development
company, and an airport trans-shipment project in conjunction with a Caribbean
government.
CAPS Interactive often is able to help such ventures find funding because its
principals have been working in the financial industry for nearly 30 years and
have international corporate, financial and political contacts in addition to
their U.S. contacts.
