    Startup investing can be challenging in a way if you do not know which business to venture into. A lot of individuals have been carelessly getting into businesses when any opportunity shows only to realize in the end that they have been scammed.

    We all have that same fear within us. Getting into a business and risking ample amount of money, time and effort is not something one can easily get into and get out of once it fails. There are millions of businesses worldwide and with each- not counting the fraudulent ones- we do not know which would succeed. Yet, as many experts and professionals say, risks are and will always be a part of entrepreneurial life. Any investment, if pursued diligently, doubles a capital. Although challenging, many investors have been able to surpass.

    Axis Capital Business Funding, one of the leading sources of credit loan for small business owners across the United States has the privilege to interview some of the most successful business owners and investors for some tips on how to find the most suitable business to invest into:

    Explore in a Familiar Ground

    If you are just starting to invest, it is best to put your bet into something which is already comfortable to you. This way, you can reduce the risk since you are already wading into a familiar wave. The ins and outs that you know of the business can provide you with a good projection on what to expect and assuring your venture.

    Research and Review the Legitimacy of the Company

    Before showing up at the door and offering them your ideas and willingness to invest, make sure you know the real nature of the business, the number of years of operation and the people behind it. As quoted from a finance investor in Jakarta, Indonesia, "investing is like going into a boxing match. You have to know things about your opponent: learn their moves and know how to knock them down". Although investment is not a bloody fight just like boxing is and the company is not an opponent but more of an opportunity, being informed and educated about them can be very beneficial.

    Examine the way of the market

    It is absolutely critical to see what competition the startup has and what kind of competitive advantage they have been able to put in place in order to beat everyone else in the race. The competition could acquire the startup instead of cloning their work, so investigating the appetite in the market could be beneficial.
