Venture Capital
In venture capital financing, CCC specializes in financing interesting and viable projects in North America, Europe and Australasia, both in the property sector, as well as less asset rich companies.
CCC focuses on taking steps to realize the true value of a company and its projects. CCC's investment approach often means acquiring assets which are unpopular, overlooked or misunderstood, thereby exploiting the gap between the prevailing perception of their value and their real value.
CCC is a patient holder of debt and equity securities for as long as it may be necessary to maximize shareholder values. It is prepared to provide debt to companies within prudent limits in order to achieve these goals, and raises equity from time to time for these companies without dilution of shareholder values.
The CCC approach to venture capital is quite distinct. Its attitude is to provide capital, which will ensure adequate returns for its investors. It does not seek control of the applicant company.
As with an application for any type of funding, CCC requires a full business plan. This should contain information about market size, sustainability, niche position, and management. It should also address any potential problems. CCC looks not only at new technological companies with so-called leading edge technology, but also seeks companies, new or established, which have a potential for high growth, in whatever field they are active.
Venture capital funding will, of course, require a higher rate of return to the investor than would, for example, a traditional mortgage loan. This return can be either in the form of debt (interest) or equity (stock) participation, and is often a combination of both.
Applications for venture capital generally require just as much scrutiny as a normal loan request, if not more. The willingness to invest risk capital does not mean that the risk must not be carefully considered. If the time frame for the raising of the required capital is short, it is imperative that a well-prepared business proposal be produced, in order to have the best possibility of obtaining funding in a short time frame.
