As commented by Drucker (2014), the concept of business venture highlights the start-up entity developed with the intention of incurring financial profitability. Conducting business in the same country results in market saturation, as a similar type of business organization seems to rise over the longer period. Thus, the business organizations opt for business ventures that provide them with the opportunity of invading new market thereby, ensuring profit maximization. The majority of the business ventures are created by considering the demand of the market. In other words, lack of supply in the market facilitates business ventures (Brenkert, 2017).

The different capital sources for the new ventures are a personal investment, venture capital, angels, business incubators and government grants and subsidies.

While starting a new venture, the individual doing the new venture should be the first investor.

Saygin Yalcin's Unique Business Idea

Venture capital is also a vital source of capital that can be used for new ventures but it cannot be used for all the budding entrepreneurs. As mentioned by Bertoni, Colombo & Grilli (2013), the concept of venture capital highlights the interest of the venture capitalists for a business that is technology-driven. This indicates a high growth rate of the business in the coming years. In this case, Saygin Yalcin can use venture capital as the capital source, as the new business idea is highly technology-based and provides an opportunity to sell cars in just 30 minutes. On the other hand, angels can also act as a source of the capital source. According to Petkova, Rindova & Gupta (2013), angels are wealthy and retired individuals that aim towards investing in smaller firms that are owned by other individuals. As a result, the investors can share their experience and skills in making the business successful. However, angels tend to invest early stages of the business. Apart from the sharing their own experience in the business, the angels also provide their industry contacts to the new entrepreneur business. As a result, the new business venture tends to flourish in no time and gain recognition within the industry sector. In this case, Saygin Yalcin can use angels as the source of capital for the entrepreneurship, as this will provide an opportunity to take support from the experienced and retired executives of the company and expand the business idea.

Business incubators are another type of capital sources of new business venture that emphasizes on the high-tech sector and provide economic support at every stage of developing the business (Mohammed & Obeleagu-Nzelibe, 2014). In the case of business incubators, they invite the future business and entrepreneurs in order to share their logistical, technical and administrative resources. However, the business incubators tend to leave the entrepreneurs once the new business idea enters the market successfully and look for new entrepreneurs (Cooce, Marti & Murtinu, 2013). In this case, Saygin Yalcin can use business incubators as the source of capital for the new business idea, as this will help in getting support in terms of logistical, technical and administrative resources and adequate support at every stage.

The government can also act as a major source of capital for the budding entrepreneurs and their new business ideas. As mentioned by Robb and Robinson (2014), the government bodies provide grants and subsidies applicable to the particular business type of the respective entrepreneur. However, it is difficult to get grants and subsidies from the government. The entrepreneur and the new business idea have to fulfill some criteria in order to get the government grant. The entrepreneurs need to provide a detailed description of the project that explains the benefits of the project along with the detailed budget (Cumming & Johan, 2013). In addition to, it needs to contain experience and the background of the managers. The new business idea is judged based on the significance, approach, innovation and assessment of expertise thereby, assessing the need for the grant (Rossi, 2014). Saygin Yalcin can get government grant or subsidy as the new business idea proposed by him has importance, approach and innovations that aim towards helping the target customers by allowing them to sell their cars in just 30 minutes. 

Capital Sources for New Business Ventures

Business ventures are considered as new business ideas that promote new business ideas for the target market by considering their needs and demands. The different forms of business structures for the business ventures include sole proprietorship, general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, corporation and nonprofit corporation. As commented by Macht & Weatherston (2014), the concept of sole proprietorship highlights a single owner for the business. It is one of the most common business structures for business ventures, as it is simple to operate, provides greater flexibility and incurs less tax. However, the business owner is completely liable for the debts. On the other hand, the concept of general partnership highlights collaboration of two or more individuals as the owners of the business. All the partners of the business contribute money, skills and labor for the business (Morris, Shirokova & Shatalov, 2013). Thus, each of the partners has to share profit and loss and are personally liable for the debts the business incurs in due time.

In the case of a limited partnership, one or more than one general or limited partners form this partnership. The general partners have equal shares in terms of profit and loss of the business whereas the limited partners have equal shares in terms of profit but losses are restricted to their extent of investment. Additionally, limited partners have restricted involvement in the business venture (Beamish, 2013).

Based on the various types of business ventures, the most appropriate method of a business venture for Saygin Yalcin is the sole proprietorship.

It took the German market some time to cope up the loss it encountered due to the recession. The country has a growing middle-class. However, when it comes to Euros, the German currency is overvalued (Schiebahn et al., 2015).

PESTLE Analysis of German Market

Social

Germany is the country in the European Union that has the highest population. The population of German is one of the strongest characteristics that are considered while doing business ventures in the German market. The German society follows a variety of lifestyles that also provides flexibility in terms of the target market the business organizations select during the business ventures.

The German market spends almost 1.21% of the GDP for research and development thereby, influencing entrepreneurs and new business ideas (Jentsch, Trost & Sterner, 2014).

Legal

The German market has strict legislation and policies. As a result, the legal system is comparatively complex, as different states have different legal requirements and policies. According to the legal system, 33% of the GDP is taxable in the German market. A minimum of 120 days is required for the business organizations to open a new business in the country. In Germany, each of the companies is considered as separate legal entities and has distinctive legal frameworks (Huang, Krysanova & Hattermann, 2015).

Environmental

The government of Germany has undertaken steps for preventing emissions and deforestations and has enforced that the industries take eco-friendly measures for conducting business.

Germany has a comparatively has a proactive and stable government that facilities new business ideas and innovations. However, Brexit has highly affected the business environment of the country. There has been a change of policies and frameworks in terms of business ventures in the German market. However, the politics of German market is highly dominated by the European Union (Cavusgil et al., 2014). This can be an issue for Saygin Yalcin because the new business venture needs to comply with both the political factors of the German market and the European Union.

Political Factors

Another issue that Saygin Yalcin will encounter is the higher tax rate that the country imposes. As the business venture is a new idea and is less recognized, it will take time to get settled in the German market. But, Saygin Yalcin has to pay tax appropriately and cannot compromise regarding it. In addition to, the strict legal framework of the German market will impose a penalty if Saygin Yalcin fails to pay the tax according to the business venture (Zhao, Hwang & Yu, 2013). Thus, the much higher rate of tax will be an issue for Saygin Yalcin, as it will take some time to sale the new business idea by Saygin Yalcin.

On the other hand, Saygin Yalcin has to invest a considerable amount in the business venture that might be another issue considering the economy of the German market.
