问题                         The Hidden Price Tag
    For many small or recently established businesses, finding sources of capital can be difficult. Companies are often in need of funds before they can build a stable customer base, so they are forced to turn to investors. Many such businesses soon discover, however, that this borrowed money can come at a high price. If entrepreneurs are not careful about which investors they do business with, their companies can suffer the consequences.
    The most common problem, according to financial experts, are investment deals that allow the investor to take control of key operations away from the company’s management. Struggling firms and new businesses facing mounting start-up costs can be easily tempted to take the offer that provides them with the most money, regardless of the deal’ s conditions.
    Unfortunately, the biggest investment usually comes with the most strings attached. For example, some deals give the venture capital firm seats on the board of the company it invests in. From this position, the investor has the ability to control all aspects of a company’s operations, including decisions concerning mergers or sales. This situation may remain tolerable as long as the investor and the management share the same goals. Yet, the investor will inevitably choose to protect its own interests over those of the company, creating a conflict that the company is then helpless to prevent.
    The best advice analysts have for businesses seeking investment capital is to thoroughly analyze any deal before agreeing to it. Sometimes, the control that must be given up is worth much more than the money being offered.
