Private business investment can offer attractive opportunities, but it differs from listed markets in important ways.
Liquidity
Private shares are hard to sell. Plan for a longer holding period.
Control and rights
Understand your voting rights, board representation, information rights and protections for minority investors.
Valuation
There is no market price. Ask how the valuation was reached and test the assumptions.
Exit
Consider how you will eventually realise your investment—sale, buy-back, refinancing or listing.
