There are some thousands of venture capitalists in the UK and Europe and each has its own specialisation. Their interest is usually focused on the later and expansion business stage of client development.
The venture capitalist usually does not want a high dividend from the investment but looks for the larger return by taking the company to a public listing and then trading its shares.
Interesting the right Venture Capitalist requires skill and market knowledge which we will be happy to provide.

VENTURE CAPITAL
Venture Capitalists can be small limited partnerships with just a few members or they can be large merchant banks. Each venture capital firm manages a venture fund, which consists of third-party investments and varies from £20m to £5bn in size.
The primary objective of a venture capitalist is to provide equity financing to companies that have very high growth potential and generate substantial profits from their investments. They do this by buying a company’s common or preferred stock, helping that company grow and then liquidating the shares they hold once the company reaches an acceptable market value.
VCs specialise in specific markets and focus on specific types of companies in that particular domain. For example, certain VCs may focus only on Internet applications, whilst others focus only on media or nanotechnology. Therefore, it is important to approach only the VCs who are expert in your product and market and that is where Capital Brokers can assist you.
The stage that your company has reached in its development will decide on whether we would approach a 'corporate venturing' source, a business angel or a venture capital company. If the choice is to seek funding from a venture capitalist then besides money for expansion your company can expect specialised help in marketing, sales and cost control.
