Financial Cycle of Business
The financial cycle of business starts from a startup entrepreneurs who look for the capital for their business to make their ‘ideas into reality‘ in the form of ‘seed capital‘.
Such entrepreneurs provides shares in the business to the person who invests in the initial capital.
These businesses are yet a sole proprietorship or a partnership business run by the group of peoples.
Afterwards, if the entrepreneurs business grows exponentially, and they need to expand it more then they need more capital.
Here, comes the ‘Venture Capitalists‘ who takes interest in such growing business entities and the investment opportunities in which they invests, in return the business provides them shares and warrants.
Here those businesses becomes a Pvt. Ltd. company still owned and run by the private group of peoples also known as the shareholders of the private company.

After issuing it’s equity shares in the public such companies becomes a Public company.
