Small business

Startups and small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and they deserve support. Investing in small businesses allows investors to not only grow their portfolios but also help business owners achieve financial independence. It offers an opportunity to create, nurture, and grow assets that generate more than just capital for accredited investors.

Many business owners choose to invest all their resources into their own ventures, such as restaurants or dry-cleaning businesses, rather than seeking external financing. However, investors can offer small business owners alternative funding methods that reduce the financial burden on personal assets. Investing in small businesses promotes growth, creates local goodwill, and fosters job creation and longevity.

In the past, sole proprietorships or general partnerships were common despite offering no protection for owners’ personal assets. Today, small business investments often take the form of limited companies or limited partnerships, maximizing personal asset protection. Equity (exchanging money for shares and profits) or debt (loans) are the two primary investment options, with various variations available.
