The realization of a fundraising must be considered only when it is really necessary to develop the company and achieve its objectives. There must be a real need for financing. Without fundraising, the company cannot achieve its goals within the desired time frame.
In return for raising funds, founding partners reduce their share of the company’s capital: less voting rights at meetings, less dividends, less share of capital gains in the event of a sale.
The influx of investors into share capital must be compensated for by the potential for development of the new means they bring to the company.
The realization of a fundraising should not be considered as an indispensable step to start a business. Its interest depends on the activity of the company, its needs, its objectives, and the means it already has.
