Capital Market and IPO Methods
The capital market helps entrepreneurs raise long-term funds. The primary market deals with new issues, while the secondary market deals with already-issued securities. In the primary market, an entrepreneur may use public issue, rights issue, private placement or offer to employees.
- Public issue: funds are raised directly from the public through a prospectus.
- Rights issue: existing shareholders get securities on a pro-rata basis.
- Private placement: securities are sold to selected institutional investors.
- Employee offer: employees become shareholders and share company growth.

SEBI, Angel Investors and Venture Capital
SEBI supervises and regulates the securities market. Angel investors and venture capitalists support young businesses, but they are not the same. Angel investors are usually affluent individuals. Venture capital is professionally managed equity capital for high-risk, high-potential growth ventures.
| Source | Meaning | Best used when |
|---|---|---|
| Angel investor | Affluent individual giving early-stage capital | Start-up needs money plus mentoring |
| Venture capital | Private equity for growth-oriented risky ventures | Idea has high growth and exit potential |
| Stock exchange | Organised market for listed securities | Investors need liquidity and valuation |
| SEBI | Securities market regulator | Investor protection and market discipline are needed |
Specialised Financial Institutions
Specialised Financial Institutions support entrepreneurs who need medium or long-term development finance. They help small and medium concerns, new entrepreneurial groups, backward regions, innovation projects and large long-gestation projects.
- IDBI: apex term-finance institution for industry.
- SIDBI: promotion and finance for small-scale industries.
- IFCI: medium and long-term credit for industrial enterprises.
- NABARD: agriculture, rural industries and rural credit support.
