This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to choose the investment that will give the best return is a problem faced by all businessmen. Yet for the small businessman in particular, the literature on capital budgeting intended to help him in his investment decisions seems not to apply to his actual situation. Here in this study, theory and practice are brought together within the context of small business. Author Martin B. Solomon Jr. compares two theoretically sound formulas -- present value and the discounted rate of return -- with simpler methods of calculating the returns on investments. The superiority of the refined methods, he points out, is practically nullified under the usual conditions of uncertainty. The primary need of the small businessman, Solomon concludes, is not for better methods of ranking alternatives but for the reservation of a portion of his time for seeking a variety of investment opportunities through the greater exercise of imagination and creativity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By starting a small business, you are investing money and time in the riskiest investment ever created. No other investment, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, mutual funds, and precious metals, comes even close to the high risk of losing your money than small business ownership. I wrote this book to teach you to think like an investor as you plan your small business venture. One particular type of investor you should emulate is the angel investor. Angel investors are typically wealthy retired people who invest their own money in high risk start-up companies. Angel investors typically prefer a high rate of return between 20% to 40% per year. Angel investors often use the Net Present Value (NPV) of an investment opportunity to make prudent investment decisions. I see no reason why you can't use the NPV just like an angel investor. After all, you will be both the small business owner and the angel investor. The NPV (covered in Chapter 7, Financial Risk) will help you determine whether your small business idea is a great investment opportunity with a high rate of return (at least 20% per year for five years) or a mediocre investment opportunity with a low rate of return (less than 20% per year for five years).

Download or read book A practical guide to opportunity assessment methods written by Peter Liao and published by RTI Press. This book was released on 2008-02-28 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the authors' experience, a gap is apparent between technology managers' needs and opportunity assessment resources. Many organizations need a tool for evaluating seed funding or small business investment opportunities, but they lack a means for determining what options are available. This research report describes several opportunity assessment methods and matches the methods to user types in public and private sector organizations in analyzing technical, business, and market information for investment and commercialization decisions. Organizations that may benefit from this review share a common goal of seeking to strengthen the viability of a new technology venture or capitalizing on their investment in new technology. These include venture capitalists who choose investments (in early-stage technology companies) that will return the largest return on investment for their client investors, angel investors placing their own money in pet projects, public or quasi-public new or small business-funding agencies, and academic and government research and development agencies. The authors' focus was to evaluate not only the availability of methods but also the associated analysis framework in order to understand which opportunity assessment methods are optimal in supporting various investment objectives and stakeholders. This report should also provide individuals in the technology transfer and commercialization community with a succinct, useful reference for identifying what methods are available to them and which methods work best in various situations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attracting Equity Investors is designed to help entrepreneurs successfully obtain equity capital. This book discusses how to evaluate a business concept from an investor′s perspective and then moves to practical issues such as how to strategically position, prepare, and present the business plan. It recognizes that there is very real competition for the funds that are available. To obtain funding, the entrepreneur must stand out among the competitors. He or she must tell a compelling story in a very convincing manner and be able to answer confidently all questions posed by the potential investor. But more than simply obtaining the funding, the entrepreneur′s objective should be to obtain the funding on the best terms possible. Therefore, this book is about organizing your business, writing and presenting a winning business plan, and showing that the management team is the right group of people to be taking that business opportunity forward toward fruition. Attracting Equity Investors is the definitive "getting equity capital" book. Attracting Equity Investors is appropriate for college-level courses in entrepreneurship, business plan writing, new venture funding, strategic management, organizational studies, marketing, economics, and technology management. It will also serve as an excellent resource for entrepreneurs who are actively seeking funding and need to know how to go about it, effectively and economically.

Download or read book Why Startups Fail written by Tom Eisenmann and published by Currency. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.

This complete summary of the ideas from Stanley Rich and David Gumpert's book "Business Plans that Win $$$" shows that preparing a business plan that appeals to investors sufficiently to have them reach for their checkbooks is one of the great challenges to building a successful business. Yet the process of developing a business plan also serves another important function – it forces business owners and entrepreneurs to focus on company excellence and profitability in the marketplace above all else. Although investor decisions sometimes appear to defy logic and reason, there is order and structure in the way they analyse potential investment opportunities. The business plan is the starting point for all such discussions; opportunities to progress matters further. In essence, business plans have become the entry point to funding markets. This summary highlights that the key to winning funding with a business plan is to look at things from the potential investor’s perspective – and being able to make a viable case for the investment. Added-value of this summary: • Save time • Understand key concepts • Increase your business knowledge To learn more, read "Business Plans that Win $$$" and discover the perfect guide to building a successful business plan.
