SHARE CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH FINANCING

Extending share equity in exchange for obtaining corporate financing, has become an increasingly common form of raising capital to advance a business' operations. Nevertheless, the exchange of corporate shares for financing comes with serious considerations, as the corporate stock that is being conferred on the financial investors represents a substantive piece of the company.

Such corporate control needs to be carefully considered, as conferring too much share control can seriously impede the long-term progress of the business. The shares' characteristics need to be properly attuned to the security, assurances and return-on-investment that is being sought by the financial investors versus the retention of appropriate control by the company's founders to properly drive the company into the future and assume a degree of risk to which investors are typically averse if given the reigns of corporate power.
