Stealth Market Research & Google Movies
I love stealth market research -- that is, unusual ways of figuring out what companies and competitors are doing. There are all sorts of ways of doing this sort of thing, from counting cars in company parking lots on outward. But there is no denying that technology continually creates new ways of ethically observing companies, and therefore new kinds of stealth research.

Be It Resolved, Analysts are Worthless
The following email from the head of global equity research at HSBC (my long-ago employer) to London analysts is being called, at least in the U.K., crass and demotivating. I have to confess, I don't actually find it all that troubling: More than a few analysts that I used to work with could have used some tough talk:
Venture Capital Financing
Venture Capital is a source for raising equity for your business. You must have a good proportion of your funding in the form of equity before lenders would feel comfortable about lending money for your small business. Venture capital funds also does not involve inflexible terms for payment of interest and repayment of the principal. What are the factors that affect your ability to raise venture capital?
Equity Financing
Most small or growth-stage businesses use equity financing in a limited way. As with debt financing, most of the time additional equity comes from non-professional investors such as friends, relatives, employees, customers or industry colleagues.
Private Equity Lessons for the Startup or Entrepreneurial Company
The November issue of the Harvard Business Review poses a tough question to the management of public companies: “What If Private Equity Sized Up Your Business?” The question comes on the heals of recent revelations that public companies are facing increased scrutiny by Private Equity funds both favorably as, for example, an acquisition target or adversely, as a mismanaged and underperforming asset in need of reform. The article goes on to identify five trends that develop when Private equity gets involved. The purpose of this article is to highlight the premises upon which these five trends are based. Understanding this premise will lend valuable insight and strategic fodder for Start-up or Entrepreneurial companies as well as seasoned businesses.

Start-up Financing & Equity: What is Dilution?

China is No Longer an Emerging Economy!
As I woke Monday morning I saw that the Asian markets, particularly the Shanghai Composite, were selling off sharply. And I thought to myself, “oh no, here we go”. My general feeling is that the US equity market is overbought as the valuations haven’t quite caught up to price. Yet the US equity markets finished the day positive. What gives?
How to Determine Your Business Success with Financial Ratio
If you’ve ever wondered how well your business is doing - truly doing - one way to clear up the mystery is to use financial ratios. Financial ratios are used by accountants and bankers to evaluate everything from your current income ratio, to debts, to inventory, and even your return on sales or capital investments. A lower ratio means a more severe problem. Another important assessment step in financial ratios is estimating your debt equity ratio. The debt equity ratio compares debt and equity and the two types of capitalization.
Joint Venture Equity
Since institutional equity providers prefer larger deals, developers looking for $3 million in equity, for example, have a hard time getting their attention. But if an organization has the capacity to do seven deals a year, for instance, then the amount of equity inches up in the aggregate of $20 million to $30 million over 12 months, and it hits the threshold where it makes sense.
