The Issues at Stake in the Development of Capital Investment put into Perspective (Mise en perspective des enjeux de developpement du Capital investissement Local et Regional)

Abstract

Capital investment usually consists of contributing to a firm's-usually not quoted on the stock exchange-capital. The aim is to finance start-up, growth, or sometimes restructuring, or else change in ownership. The need to distribute capital in France at the regional or local levels represents high stakes: That of promoting entrepreneurship and reinforcing an, SME's equity capital during growth. Regional entities, whilst often having different means available, have all the same a common objective i.e. strengthening the local economy and playing an influential role in implementing measures and policies to promote the French economy.
