Here's Why Resimac Group (ASX:RMC) Has Caught The Eye Of Investors

For beginners, it can seem like a good idea (and an exciting prospect) to buy a company that tells a good story to investors, even if it currently lacks a track record of revenue and profit.

Loss-making companies are always racing against time to reach financial sustainability, so investors in these companies may be taking on more risk than they should.

So if this idea of high risk and high reward doesn't suit, you might be more interested in profitable, growing companies, like Resimac Group (ASX:RMC). While profit isn't the sole metric that should be considered when investing, it's worth recognising businesses that can consistently produce it.
