Entrex has brought the general market standards and discipline in the private market. I understand that value for the alternative investment community, but what is the value to me as the owner of a private company?
I get this question more than others. To answer, let’s start with what this Entrex.
In broad terms Entrex is a new market in alternative investment community. Required compliance standards and reporting structures that were long part of public investment and the prevailing market for private companies.
Until Entrex, there is no way to compare apples with apples, and there is no way to know what you get when you are in the investment in a private company. Entrex has brought transparency in the process of private investment, provision of alternative investment community a new place to put their money.
So how does this benefit you and others like you? In a word: capital.
Today, roughly 80 percent of private companies receive their funding within a 50-mile radius of their home office. Essentially this means friends and family, country club colleagues, regionally focused venture capitalists and fellow businesspeople. To say these avenues for pursuing capital are limiting would be something of an understatement.
But alternative investors are chomping at the bit to invest in private companies. They simply require the means to do so – an entity willing to do the due diligence so that they may find, research, track, manage and trade their investments. Entrex is that entity.
Whether you’re looking for capital, interested in being acquired or simply want to see how your business is valued for shareholders on a quarterly basis, Entrex can help. It brings private business owners’ need for liquidity and the alternative investment market’s need for fresh investment opportunities together in one place.
