Who We Are
The essence of a venture capital consultant is that of a matchmaker. The ultimate goal of the consultant is to find a perfect investor for the entrepreneur client and earn a referral fee for the effort. To reach that goal the consultant is frequently called upon to help educate the entity seeking funding on the proper preparation steps required to make a successful presentation seeking funding.
Venture Capital Consultant
A venture capital consultant is the resource used by entrepreneurs seeking equity funding to match them with a funding source. Venture capital differs from commercial loans in that the investor takes an ownership position in the company as opposed to expecting loan repayment.
The value of the consultant is its ability to find a suitable investor and direct the preparation of the solicitation material.
The VC consultant is paid for a successful referral typically as a percentage of funding or with stock options in the new company. The client needs equity funding as a rule because as a startup they lack credit history or collateral to negotiate a business loan. The added benefit of an investor is the addition of talent to the management and ownership team.
The fact that investors have specialties, different regions of operation, and different investment levels create a maze of information for the startup to navigate without help. The Business Alliance affiliate can be the solution to speeding to market with a breakthrough business model.
Consultant Training Program
Business Alliance has been successfully assisting new businesses with equity funding since 1999. That depth of experience makes us uniquely qualified to bring well qualified Affiliates into the industry as team members. Our training is designed to make the new consultant fully functional from the first day in business, eliminating the learning curve.
The fact that the number of investors at our disposal far exceeded the number of deals we would bring to market in a year created this opportunity. With vastly more investment capacity than was being utilized, the principals decided to expand through the Affiliate program.
For a one time fee of $19,900 the Affiliate is provided a complete business model including systems and tools to effectively operate the business successfully from day one. The training is delivered by instructor led one on one classes covering each aspect of the business. The Affiliate is further entitled to utilize the Business Alliance co-op 80/20 brokerage program, a profit-sharing model using the company as the back office for placements.
Angel Investors
The Angel Investor is typically a successful and independently wealthy entrepreneur or executive providing first or second level seed capital to new business enterprises. The Angel Investor is accredited and invests his or her own personal funds.
The Angel Investor bears a large burden of risk, and as such seeks a potential return in the five-year short term window in the range of ten to thirty times investment, including a well defined exit strategy. The Angel Investor can also supply valuable management skill and expertise to the fledgling business, increasing its chances for success.
The Business Alliance portfolio of Angel Investors is one of our greatest assets. Utilizing our unique fast-source technology, we are able to quickly search a data base of available investors to make the perfect match for the client. The benefit to the Angel Investor is that they are only seeing qualified prospects. The benefit to the new business…..priceless.
Growth and Income Potential
Angel investments are estimated to exceed 100,000 per year and growing. A popular and successful alternative to traditional financing paths, equity investments combine the lure of large returns with the excitement of bringing new technologies and concepts to market.
Forbes magazine refers to Angel Investors as the unsung heroes of US innovation and growth. An industry that is 75 years old, the venture capital world has created millions of jobs, driven most R&D investments, and delivered better looking retirement accounts for individual investors in venture backed public companies.
The VC consultant has the opportunity to earn through commissions, stock options, or becoming an investor on his or her own. The market awaits, and only expands year over year in one of the most exciting venues in the business world.
