I would enjoy hearing from any finance specialists or Realtors on the activerain network.

Do you have questions about commercial mortgage loans?

Do you have questions about analyzing commercial income properties?

Do you have any other commercial topics you would like to learn more about?

If you have questions please ask.

I am looking forward to interacting with more activerain users and consumers.

Potential Topics: Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), SBA Loans, What is required for a commercial loan, etc.

The topics are endless!

Venture Capital hybrid in Minneapolis Mn and elsewhere

Venture Capital hybrid in Minneapolis Mn and elsewhere.

Many companies can not get the VC money they need for start ups. If you have some collateral to inject into the deal we want to talk to you. It can range from art, gold coins to real estate but if you have something of yours (Skin) to throw in the deal we may be able to help.

By definition this is what Venture Capital means:

Venture capital (also known as VC or Venture) is a type of private equity capital typically provided for early-stage, high-potential, growth companies in the interest of generating a return through an eventual realization event such as an IPO or trade sale of the company. Venture capital investments are generally made as cash in exchange for shares in the invested company.

Earlier we mentioned collateral and this some what goes against the definition. However, we take a blend of both shares in your business and collateral. If you is not enough to get what you need to enter the market or increase your market share both may work.

If you have both collateral and a strong business plan that you have not been able to fund please contact our team.
