Alternative Capital

Alternative capital refers to funding sources outside traditional banks and loans, used by businesses and investors to raise funds. It includes options like private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, and crowdfunding. These sources often provide more flexible or specialized financing tailored to particular needs, such as growth, innovation, or infrastructure projects. Alternative capital can offer quicker access to funds, different risk profiles, or less stringent qualification criteria compared to traditional financing methods. It plays an important role in diversifying funding options and can enable entities to undertake projects or growth initiatives that might not fit conventional lending criteria.
