From the NYT: a company founder |
If your goal is to build the most profitable business you can, you may not want to raise capital from outside investors. If your goal is to dominate a market or niche or expand internationally, external investors can provide the necessary capital and even the expertise to help you achieve your goals for your company. (Just make sure that, as you raise capital, you keep percentages and structure in mind or your company could end up not being yours anymore!)
A good article on the subject appeared in the New York Times small business section. To hear from myriad viewpoints, check out the article: Self-Finance or Raise Money? A Quandary for Start-ups.
