admin

Investment fashions are subject to change, whilst each financial institution will have its own particular investment policy. However, as a generalisation, VCs will consider a business that has the following attributes:

A reasonable asking price arrived at through an acceptale valuation method.

  • High growth potential, supported by a professionally produced business plan and a trading record that supports the financial projections.
  • In a high tech sector, such as medical and related industries.
  • Acceptable CEO supported by suitably competent and entrepreneurial management that is prepared to invest some of its own money in the buy-out.
  • The ability to borrow against its own assets.
  • Feasible exit strategy, preferably through a flotation or a secondary sale, within five to seven years.

The fact that your financial website is rendering just fine on all current browsers is no guarantee that a business site that contains invalid markup will as render fine in the future. What is more, there are no guarantee that your website will be displayed fine (or at all) in the constantly increasing number of non-traditional devices such as PDAs and mobile phones. As companies involved in the browser business make further efforts to make their products compliant to web standards, the issue of “rendering fine” in specific browsers becomes moot, anyway. Standards-compliant markup your financial website will be even more of an assurance that it will work properly on every platform in contrast to error-laden and proprietary markup.

Currently Internet witnesses increased complexity around content management systems, accessibility, rich internet applications (RIAs), mobile, application frameworks, syndication, and other multiuse channels, each of which may require to display the presentation of financial information – or a lack of any presentation information – associated with it. In the face of this requirement, most off-the-shelf software packages are damaged by terrible UI practices, not to mention financial and money management software created individually by developers who don’t know any better.
