Now we got to the type of investors with whom we personally know from experience.
So, as a rule, the strategic investor will invest in the creation of a new business or buying a stake in the current business, for the operational management for profit and / or business goals of its other companies.
Unlike venture capitalists, strategic investors trying to get a larger share of the maximum in the business, most of all - 100%. This is due to the desire to gain complete control over the business.
Another difference between a strategic investor from venture investors - he was not interested in the company's value, and profitability of its operations. In addition, very rarely a strategic investor buys a business that has nothing to do with its core business. Most often, the investments are in business to solve the pressing problems of the main activities.
Thus, the organizational involvement of a strategic investor looks like a transfer of shares in the business or the establishment of a new company with its primary share. And then, as a rule, an infusion of cash is done by issuing loans on terms of repayment and interest payment. It is clear that these conditions are very favorable in nature ( type, will do when you can ), because the business is actually owned by an investor.
The intervention of a strategic investor in the operative management may have a different character. Most often, an intensive control of movement of finance, production and commercial activities. Investor less likely to limited participation in strategic management at the level of participation in the Board of Directors.
From experience:.
Do not do anything for 100 % of the investor. This is a job for the salary. My personal opinion - the threshold of the investor's share - from 51% to 70%.
To be specified once the volume of intervention methods and the investor will receive a guarantee of preservation of the position of the sole executive body.
If an investor requires control spending, then limit yourself to the control of its own infusions.
As part of the operational limit its participation in the strategic management.
Here is an example of the strategic investment. Some manufacturing procedure simply holding the automation of its activities. It invests in the development of its own IT company in the hope that it will be able to influence and achieve quality service and solutions to their automation tasks. In this IT company can and should develop in parallel and servicing other clients. You become the director of the company's IT. Your task - to ensure the profitability of business, problem solving and generate a third-party investor's income.
Where can I find a strategic investor? . So, develop your network of contacts, communicate with people or looking at the outputs of those whose strategic objectives can solve your planned business. Without getting out of personal strategic investor is highly unlikely.
