Its About the Right Money Option - Having the right partners and financing are so important. Locking yourself into a deal with the wrong partners can easily drag you and the business down. Also, great points about finding financing and other partners who understand the goals you have for the business and can help you work toward those. I've been amazed over the years to find the ways to network and to help others. Your financing partner can not only bring money to the table, but connections, information and the background to take the business to the next level. And, since they have money involved, its in their interest to help you make the business a success. ChrisH
Acquiring Financing - Any suggestions from the members here about tips on how to get financing to start a business or additional financing for expansion etc? Shri
Sloooowww - Everything for business financers slows way down and when the lenders started to tighten up all over the country a few months ago, business just isn't so great. I've experienced very little traffic for financing assistance during the holidays (and even now), however, considering my recent illness, it may have been a blessing for me (more rest)!
Re: Kevin's Case Study #8 - How do you attract a finance expert? - I think the best way to find any reputable accountant would be by recommendation. If you cannot get one by recommendation then you should put those you narrow down your search to through an in depth prescreening process. Check the out their firm with BBB and make sure they are licensed & registered. Always check credentials and make sure they graduated from the schools they claim to have attended. Financing should be found in accordance to the type of financing you need and the type of business you are financing. You should always get prequalified before commiting to an application. You should seek out those financial institutions that specialize in the type of financing you are seeking and then check to enure they can finance your type of business.
