Venture capital Startups A venture capitalist is a person who invests in a business venture, providing capital for start-up or expansion. Venture capital firms takes capital from limited partners and spend the money in companies for a share of the ownership. This is not so different than investing money in the stock market.
You buy shares and have a say in how the company is run. Venture capitalists are looking for a higher rate of return than would be given by more traditional investments. With Venture capital, it is a private transaction and they require a significant amount of control. They are, however, not interested in running the business on a day to day basis. In other terms, the venture capitalist may have no business experience applicable to the industry your company is involved in, and is focused on the potential rate of return your company can provide. Angel Money Angels are those who spend their own money in a company for a share of the company.
The amount of control the angel wants usually depends on the interest of the person and the interest he or she has in being concerned for the company. Some angels will finance and come in as management; some will invest and stay very hands off in the management of the company. But angel investor often has business experience appropriate to your company and is involved in adding value to your company, as well as making a return on his or her investment.

Institutional Investors Institutional Investors applies mostly to insurance companies, pension funds and investment companies, collecting savings and supplying funds to markets but also to other types of institutional wealth like endowment funds, foundations etc. Investment Banks As their name reflects, investment banks neither invest nor do they lend.
It is a financial mediator that performs a variety of services which includes underwriting, acting as a mediator between an issuer of securities and the investing public, facilitating mergers and other corporate reorganizations, and also acting as a broker for institutional clients. In general, investment banks are intermediaries and not interested in holding possession stakes themselves. Business Broker Like an investment bank, business brokers are not attracted in financing or investing. They are interested in searching a potential buyer for your company.
They mostly have numerous industry associates and have a thoughtful of the value of the company and what are current buy structures. If you have taken a decision that it is an appropriate time to raise money for your company, you must decide what you want finally. If you are ready to get out of the business, you want an investment bank or business broker. If you are thinking on taking your company to the next level and expanding it to an IPO, then you are certainly looking for venture capital or some sort of debt.
