Private Equity Investors
Private equity investors are the same as private capital investors. They buy ownership equity in a new business and provide it with the start-up capital it needs to get going. Private equity investment is about a lot more than just money, though.
Private equity investors generally invest in companies that are in a particular area or field, one that they have knowledge of and experience in. They bring this knowledge and experience to the company and can do things and provide valuable contacts for a new business whose owners might not have the experience necessary to do it for themselves.
Private equity investors can often provide funds for new businesses more quickly than a venture capital firm. The due diligence process (investigation into a company's inner workings) is also less rigorous. They also require a lower rate of return on their investment and take less control of the managing of the business, hiring, and other such matters. They leave that to the original owners of the business and serve instead in more of an advisory capacity.
