In good financial times it can be hard to secure financing for a new small business. So, getting financing in these tough and uncertain economic times are even harder. That’s a reason why you need to know about this book.We all know that a business can be run in the ground by bad management, poor planning, a downturn in the economy and many other reasons. But improper financial planning is the #2 reason that businesses fail – that is why this book is a valuable resource. Far too many people plan to open or expand a business and incorrectly calculate how much money they will need. Having sufficient money available is critical in being successful.
Compiling a thorough and accurate financial statement is one key. Another key is having a thorough and complete business plan. Both of these items enable you to launch or expand the business with a solid plan and sufficient financing and it allows the lending institution to make the best loan to you and also to give you the best feedback for your situation.
This book delves into some of the more creative financing options – and in these times, it doesn’t hurt to get creative when you look for financing.
Some of the topics covered in this book include:
Chapter 1 – Learning Your Money Formula
Chapter 2 – The Money is Out There
Chapter 3 – Your Business Plan
Chapter 4 – Investing in Your Own Dream
Chapter 5 – Neither a Borrower Nor a Lender Be
Chapter 6 – Your Loan Proposal
Chapter 7 – Valuation of Your Business
Chapter 8 – Debt Financing Versus Equity Financing
Chapter 9 – Uncle Sam Helps Out
Chapter 10 – Grants
Chapter 11 – Venture Capital
Chapter 12 – Investor Angels
Chapter 13 – Initial Public Openings
Chapter 14 – Direct Public Offerings
Chapter 15 – Strategic Alliances
Chapter 16 – Legal Considerations
Chapter 17 – The Pitch
Chapter 18 – Glossary
Chapter 19 – Resources
There are many unusual and creative financing options that are discussed in this book in detail. So – if you are looking for a very thorough book that walks you through the traditional and the more creative financing process for your business – this is the book for you. The resources section is also packed with all kinds of resources to get much more information to help you in search to get financing for your business. Like Chapter 2 says — the money is out there, you just need the details on how to get it.
Note – This book was written several years ago and there are new programs — however, this book will give you a great foundation to search for business financing and to better understand the process and to understand the terminology during the process.

While this book does contain a lot of useful information for the new small-business owner, it’s also an overview of how to obtain financing throughout the life of a small business. However, this book cannot cover everything you’ll need to know — there are too many variables that depend on your location and line of business. State and national regulations dealing with money change all the time, and the bottom line is that you’ll need to consult (at the bare minimum) a lawyer and an accountant experienced in your line of business. The author doesn’t hide this at all — throughout the book, Ms. Fullen cautions the reader to obtain professional advice. So why purchase this book? This book is a great introductory course on small-business financing, a way of helping you understand the great range of financial options available to you. Compare the price of this book to a lawyer’s hourly rate: do you really want to pay your lawyer to explain the same information to you? Or do you want to walk into a bank or financial advisor’s office knowing the facts? Following the information in this book, you’ll be prepared to make an informed decision when it comes to financing your small business. This book may not give you the final answer on what kind of financing you need (no book can), but it’s a great way to start! - Comment Feed for this Post
