7 min read

When a new company is being born and developing, it can receive help from all kinds of other established ones. Either by way of investors or by way of granting a loan. Be that as it may, the truth is that these new companies do not have anything wrong with having all the possible support. Especially if they show high potential within the business sector in which they are entering . Hence, it is so common for them to be granted risk capital , which we will be talking about today.

What is venture capital?

Venture capital is a type of capital that another company provides to a new company as financing while the company is in its growth period . The investing company obtains a great advantage from this, since it becomes the owner of one or several assets of the company in which they are investing by granting them venture capital. This type of aid is granted with the intention that the company increases in terms of its value and respective development .

In this way, once the company has reached a point of stable development and the investment has matured , the capitalist company can retire with its respective monetary benefit . Despite the fact that, as its name indicates, it is an investment that can carry risks, investors are usually calm with their decision. Since, by buying a company asset, they have a voice in the decisions that are made in this new growing company . So you can help steer her to success.

Types of venture capital

It is essential to bear in mind that there are various types of venture capital. Its variations depend on the point of development in which the company is when the investor arrives. Therefore, first of all, we find the Seed Capital that is made when the company has just been born or has not yet fully entered the commercial market. There is the Start-up Capital that directly promotes companies that have not yet entered the market as such.

On the other hand, there is the Capital for Expansion, which is the one that is granted when you want the company to expand to other locations or venture into other types of sales. Likewise, there is the Restructuring Capital that tries to be of help when the company is going through a bad commercial period. Finally, there is also the Replacement Capital with which it seeks to replace the position that other investors or shareholders had in the company when these main shareholders stop participating.

What is a venture capital company (SCR)?

venture capital company is a public limited company whose objective is the acquisition of temporary holdings in the capital of companies through participatory loans, as well as other forms of financing, in the case of previously owned companies.

Venture capital companies obtain profits from the sale of their shares once the invested company has matured sufficiently, but their ultimate goal is to maximize the value of the companies through management and professional advice .

What companies or sectors are financed with venture capital?

It is important to highlight which are the sectors in which venture capital is most frequently produced . Well, large companies or shareholder investors are always looking to invest in those companies that operate within the dynamic sectors of the country's economy . These types of sectors are those that participate in the production of goods, services or products that are essential for the proper functioning of industrial society. Therefore, we talk about innovative companies with innovative ideas that make good use of technology .

Examples of companies that work in dynamic sectors are agri-food, automobile, and chemical companies, among others . They are those types of companies that have a high perspective for the future thanks to their market objectives. Hence, these companies are the ones that attract the attention of the largest possible number of shareholders . Well, they know very well that they can obtain a good economic remuneration by becoming shareholders of the same.

Who regulates venture capital funds in Spain?

Within Spain, the issue of venture capital is taken very seriously. Everything that happens with it must be done as stipulated in the law. Well, venture capital funds within Spanish territory are monetary assets that do not have legal personality and that belong to a large number of investors. They usually form a venture capital entity or a closed-end collective investment entity.

A venture capital entity can take the legal form of a venture capital company . These types of companies are totally anonymous and it is through them that all the corresponding investments are made. The law stipulates the various venture capital entities that can be formed under the legal framework depending on the place in which their respective investors are domiciled. As you can see, everything that has to do with this is very well governed by Spanish law.

How do venture capital funds influence the economy?

Funds belonging to venture capital are of great help in various types of economic and commercial situations. Thanks to this type of monetary fund, investments can be channeled towards businesses that have high potential. And also that your business idea is seen to be profitable. Therefore, by implementing venture capital with these types of companies, the local economy is being boosted. At the same time, it is possible to finance innovation within various economic and labor sectors.

Therefore, venture capital funds have a very positive influence on the economy of a country. Always in favor of progress and the use of all the technologies that are available today. The venture capital seeks to help companies that are innovating, so that they offer citizens a series of products and services of the highest quality and, of course, functionality.

How does venture capital finance companies?

It is important that companies that are interested in this type of financing look for a way to obtain venture capital . To do this, the first thing to do is give a venture capital company a plan that shows, in essence, everything that is done in the company. Where you should highlight, of course, what are the objectives of it and the way in which you plan to develop all your strategies. If the company is interested, a more detailed study will be carried out.

If the venture capital company is really interested in this, then all the negotiations for the investment will start . It begins, of course, with the discussion regarding the percentage of participation that the company will take within the company. As well as the way in which the payment of the investment will be made. It's all a matter of whether the company's business idea appeals to the venture capital company . If all goes well, it is possible to move towards a very well promoted development thanks to this partnership.
