You can lose what you invest.

It may be hard to sell.

The equity lists on Dealing after the raise, but there may be few buyers at the price you want.

Football is uncertain.

Results, player sales and league status move revenue year to year.

Currency.

The business earns in rupees and may raise in euros; the exchange rate moves your return.
