Useful Capital


While capital is prevalent, it takes the alignment of "Useful Capital", resources, and people to be successful. Moreover, the success of the business often depends upon whether the incoming capital is “Useful Capital” or not. Useful capital provides strategic guidance, additional resources, and operating support to ensure the market opportunity is maximized.


There are many ‘financial engineering’ options today which allow business owners to grow, develop, or transfer ownership of their organizations. These methods, recapitalization for instance, allow owners to take some cash out of the business while still retaining control. Other options allow the business to grow through acquisitions or geographically, and a third option allows for ownership transfer of the business so that owners have money for retirement and the business still thrives.

Useful Capital takes on the following characteristics:

  1. Advisors that fund the capital provide more than simple board governance and financing controls; they provide guidance, industry contacts, and operating expertise
  2. Invested in the particular business sector before i.e. know the players, customers, partners, and key performance indicators intuitively
  3. Understand what is needed to have a unique business model


There is a higher probability of success when outside help is utilized such that a businesses will focus on their core activities to achieve higher returns. Venture and private equity groups have realized this and teamed with advisory groups to manufacture investments. People dependent businesses flourish when ‘Useful Capital’, bundled resources, and employees are all integrated in a unique business model and opportunity.
