MenuWhere and how to get up to date negative (bad) news about particular financial institution involved in communication dialogues about capital raises?
Hi, Could anyone please give me some starting helpful advice where and how could I find most recent up to date as bad as possible (maximum negative) news about particular financial institution (e.g. investment bank) that would cause a publicly listed company to immediately stay away from borrowing the capital from them or doing bonds/notes issue, or extending existing credit facility? Irrelevant to the type of capital raise funding structure, e.g. term loan, revolving credit facility, bridge loan, syndicated loan, rights issue and many more type of capital raises. I'm looking to refer a loans (funding of capital) to particular lender and trying to create a verbal presentation with real (valid) and up to date maximum bad news that would significantly increase a chance…

What kind of return would be expected on convertable notes for: Mid Market Firm, Technology Startup, Traditional small business?
Normally, investors want startups to either exit or go public. They're not exactly interested in making some small return before. They want to make at least 10x the amount they invested, that's why it's worth it for them, even with the risk of losing the capital (and that's what happens to a considerable number of investments they do).RD

I'd like to pool the collective wisdom here and ask what banks so you prefer for your business needs?
Without knowing where in the world you are it's hard to name any specific institutions but here are some things I've learned over the years: 1. Don't do business banking virtually. By having a relationship with my local bank officer I was allowed to go over my line of credit limit by $5,000 for 14 days on her authority alone. The only reason she let me was our personal relationship. People matter. 2. Ask if you'll automatically be offered credit limit increases based on account activity or if you need to apply each time you want to expand credit. Applying each time will likely create a 'hit' on your credit score. I once had my credit expanded by $20,000 simply because of the account activity. 3. Get a clear understanding of the fees and understand that dealing with you costs the bank money. I'm very suspicious of 'free' accounts of any kind. There is always a cost. 4. Make sure the branch is convenient. I don't like waiting for an hour on the phone to speak to someone in a call center. When there is a royal screw-up in your banking nothing beats marching down and talking to the commercial manager. They'll want you out of their office fast and that means getting a resolution most of the time. 5. If you're going to be doing business internationally, ask about foreign branches or brands. Here in Canada most of the banks own US banks so it can make things easier for business in the US to open a US account in the USA from the comfort of home. Set up a call if you'd like to talk about your specific needs. David C BarnettDC

What are some warning signs to look for in dealings with VC firms and individual investors?
Red Flags in early discussions: 1) Request to see a "business plan" (indicates lack of sophistication in early stage tech investing) 2) Talks to much about themselves or their firm (good investors should be 95% about understanding you and your business) 3) Talks negatively about anyone: This is a signal that they're unprofessional. 4) Seems distracted in conversation with you: Any evidence that they don't value your time is a negative signal in that they are either power-tripping or are simply not likely to be helpful. 5) Asks you "dumb questions." This is different in each case but you should feel that they are not asking questions which seem ignorant or reveal a lack of understanding of your business and industry.TW

Where, how to obtain a startup capital WITHOUT involving investors (no equity distribution!) as a EU resident with maximizing a chance of no payback
I have taken a manufacturing company from initial capital raise to exit sale. It took 137 pitches to raise low 7 figures. First you need a MVP and a business plan. With that in place you can solicit investors. You start with your most inner circle (family) and work yourself outward from there. If you do not want to offer equity, then offer notes. In any case if you do not have a product or business plan, you are not serious.HP
