Financial investors

Financial investors are not some other breed of humanity; they are simply people who have excess capital they would like to put to work for them. This is a philosophical choice, that money in and of itself is worthless. Money’s value lies in its ability to procure things that you need and want with it. One of the things that money can procure is actually more money.

This is because financial investors and entrepreneurs alike understand that in order to make money, you have to spend money. If you want to start a bakery that you run for the rest of your life, you will need money to buy the shop, ovens, foodstuffs, and other items that must be in place before you can even bake your first loaf of bread. Once you do bake that first loaf, you will still need to pay ongoing costs such as the power bill and employee salaries.

This is why entrepreneurs look for financial investors to back their ideas. The investor puts up money in the form of a business loan or stock in the new company. In return, the investor gets a share of the profit of that company in the case of stock, or they get the loan paid back with interest. Either way, the business gets the money it needs to start, and the investor uses their money to create more money.
