The concept of fundraising has become familiar to startups. But what’s really behind this phenomenon? What do these innovative young companies need to know about this concept?
Fund-raising goals
The financial stakes involved in raising funds are crucial for a company. First of all, having this contribution ensures a successful project start-up. What’s more, the amount raised ensures that startups remain in good financial health. It’s important to emphasize the importance of fund-raising in human resources financing. Recruitment requires the mobilization of funds, both for internal and external freelancers. As a result, even a start-up can no longer escape optimum management of its overheads, including its premises.
A complex process, but the key to a company’s development
Fund-raising involves the start-up soliciting internal investors to obtain financing for a project. This may concern the start-up, the growth phase or the internalization of its activity. This fund-raising process is more complex than it might seem. The process hinges on the entrepreneur’s ability to convince those who will provide the funds. He or she needs to think about the purpose of the financing requirement, since it may cover several aspects. Generally speaking, young technology companies turn to fund-raising for equipment upgrades.
Space management: a niche for startups to exploit
Today, the number of startups specializing in space management is also on the rise. Many of them prefer to raise funds to finance the creation of a coworking space. Coworking spaces are becoming increasingly popular with freelancers. It is a response to the telecommuting craze that many companies have been experiencing for several years(*). Even if the phenomenon is lagging behind in France, some managers seem inclined to rethink the way they work. Starting with a positive assessment of telecommuting, most have gone on to declare themselves in favor of it. As far as leases are concerned, it should be noted that shared office leases share the same principle as shared commercial leases.
