Guidelines To Successful Project Funding Europe

By Sarah Wallace


There are a number of inputs required when starting a new venture. These include time, effort and the most important being finances. There a different ways through which you can get this financing you require. Discussed below are a few ways to get project funding Europe.

The first source of funds to support your scheme is overdrafts. The main reason why you should consider overdrafts is because they are arranged at short notice. They are also flexible in the amount borrowed at any time. They are due to be paid in less than a year but within that time, your project will have started bringing in some returns.

You should be the first one to invest in your business scheme in order to show potential investors that you are committed. This is done through personal investment where you use cash or collateral on your assets to support the scheme. Investors and bankers are more compelled to invest in your business when they realize you are taking risks too.

Venture capitalists are always looking for technology-driven businesses in different sectors. Banks are shy to support some business schemes viewing them as too risky. Venture capitalists support such ventures and in exchange, they get equity share and are involved in a strategic level in the execution of the project. They aim at increasing value for their share to sell it later and also look forward to growing the business.

There are private developers who are ready to directly invest in a company or venture that they believe in. They are known as business angels. In return, they get equity share and a place on the board. They mostly give finance ranging from 10k and 100k pounds. They also have a rich experience in entrepreneurship and can offer a wide range of knowledge and skills to push your investment.

Securing a short-term or long-term loan from the bank has been a great source of financing for an investment. These loans can be paid monthly or be paid after the agreed loan period. Even though loans attract tax-deductible interests, returns on the project make getting loans a good option for financing your business schemes. Financial institutions give loans based on credit scores and other determining factors.

The government gives grants and subsidies to help organizations or individuals finance their projects. Especially when the investment is beneficial to people within the community. One advantage of these grants is that they are not paid back. The only problem is that they are acquired through a very highly competitive application process. It might be time consuming and exhausting but they are worth it.

When an individual or an organization needs money to fund their business investment, it is advisable to sell an asset. You can always lease back the asset when it is needed. A lot of capital can be found in the assets a business owns. The capital is however trapped since it cannot be used to finance a project. Releasing the capital from those assets may give a considerable amount of money to run the project.
