Well-capitalized banks may be a funding option...that's where the money is!

Entrepreneurs and innovators of healthcare technology, especially clinical IT, should focus their business presentations toward a few well-capitalized, high-quality asset  banks.  Banks appear to see a window of opportunithy to expand their future banking business by investing in the best healthcare technology companies that serve physicians.

Although current economy has buried many business plans, financial experts indicate that the bottom may be near.  It may be an opportunistic time to revisit POMIS entrepreneurial investment opportunities – Practice Management Systems, Managed Care Information Systems, and ambulatory care Electronic Health Records-Electronic Medical Records Systems.  But where are the best – and safest – banks to partner?

 

According to Richard Bove, a well-known banking analyst at Ladenburg Thulman, the banking system as a whole scores fundamentally healthy.  Paraphrasing the infamous Willy Sutton: “…that’s where the money is.”

 

The strongest, well-funded POMIS vendors can take advantage of weak competitors.  We are well into the third-quarter and the worse has been identified and the best deals are becoming visible.  Bad deals are terminal.  Some entrepreneurs and innovators are rising as good deals.  As the recovery takes hold and prime deals become visible, investors and business executives should be positioned.

 

Don’t count on the community of venture capitalists and investment bankers for some time, unless you are well prepared.  The good news is that the “quick-buck” mentality of previous investors is sick.  Trends and events indicate a strong market signal for long-term investors that associate with the best-capitalized banks.  Banks of this type take due diligence seriously enough to make excellent ROI highly likely.

 

Who are well-capitalized banks?  Less you believe our expertise extends beyond POMIS competitive intelligence, a good competitive intelligence firm uses knowledge gained from others.  The following source focused our thoughts:
