Definition
- Funds for start-up companies or new, small companies seeking expansion. Venture capital is aimed at getting business ideas or processes started where other forms of finance, e.g. bank loans are not easy to get because the company has no assets to borrow against and no 'track record' of profits. Venture capital is highly speculative.
