When it comes to an early retirement, some investors might think that trying to strike it rich with a speculative mining or biotechnology company is the way to go.
While there is a very small chance that this could happen, history shows that the odds are stacked heavily against this strategy.
Instead, I think a better option is to look for small cap companies that are actually generating revenue and making profits with a clear path for future growth.
Two small caps that meet this criteria and look to have bright prospects ahead of them include:

Vitaco Holdings Ltd (ASX: VIT)
Following an impressive debut back in September 2015, Vitaco shares have seriously underperformed mainly as a result of unrealistic market expectations. Many investors were unfairly comparing the vitamin and nutrition company to Blackmores Limited (ASX: BKL) when it was never going to produce the sort of explosive growth that Blackmores was achieving.

Instead, I think Vitaco should be viewed as a company that will have the potential to gradually increase and maintain earnings year after year.

The New Zealand-based company operates in a number of health related segments including leading positions in sports nutrition and health foods. The company has a number of market-leading products in Australia and New Zealand and is now developing a platform to expand into China where it can take advantage of its ‘green and clean’ reputation.

The shares are currently trading on a forecast price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 18.5x which doesn’t appear to be overly expensive on the basis it can begin to make progress on its Asian expansion plans.
