A small startup company in the environmental services industry has exhausted nearly all its own time developing its technology and conquering the major regulatory hurdles. Having achieved success with the technology, the organization must now conclude which path to take to nurture.
The owners do the growth on their own terms and can attempt to raise themselves to the money through a bank loan. On the other hand, they are able to forge a fiscal partnership using a strategic partnership or a venture capital firm with a different business, or they could issue preferred shares to a local insurance provider to a local investment fund or corporate bonds. These alternatives will share the hazards and expense of growth, but the company may lose some autonomy in its decision making in future.
