ABSTRACT
The importance of venture capital to the incubation and early-stage growth of new enterprise (new firms) has been well documented. Studies exploring the determinants of new-firm formation have tested for hypothesized linkages involving contextual (socio-economic) factors on a variety of spatial scales. To date, however, little or no published research is focused on the role of venture-capital investment flows on new-firm formation at the regional level. This study seeks to address this gap in our understanding. In order to isolate the effects of venture capital on new-firm formation, while controlling for categories of covariates whose influences may be confounded. The methodology of the research is qualitative and based on secondary data. Chapter 4 analyses the data, which were collected through different literature from journal and article. Finally the researcher concludes the research along with the finding on the role of venture capitals in the formation of new businesses.
