Are You Thinking of Starting a Business? Read This First!

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

You’re thinking of starting a small business, but where should you begin? Here a few thoughts for starters.

You’re tired of “working for the man,” or for that matter, working for anyone. Or is it just being “bossed around” by someone else? Maybe circumstances beyond your control have brought you to this place in life. Or, are you simply dreaming of being “your own Man” or “your own Woman?” If this describes you, then having your own business could be the best option to suit your needs. From my experience I have learned that some personality types are wired for occupational independence, and if that describes you, believe it or not, you’re not alone. The small business owner is the anchor of the American economy. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, over the last ten years 70% of all new jobs were created by small businesses that started with an idea and desire for independence.

Make money quick, or make money right?

You are not going to find any profound ways to make a lot of money really fast by reading this article, but you can find some things that can help you in the long run. Most of the time, the making money fast ideas that you see are not really all that they are cracked up to be. You may have to build something that takes months to get going, though some of those things are going to make you a lot of cash. What you want to do is to put the time into your effort and work towards the rewards. You can also change some of your personal habits. That might be one of the bigger secrets of making money that you should know.

Think about what an offer entails if it says it has the secrets of making money fast and easy. Either it is going to be something that is morally questionable, or it is flat out not going to work. You can make some good money in a short time in some cases, but it is not going to be overnight by any means. If you want to use web sites to earn money through Google, for example, you can make a lot, but it is not going to happen in a week. It might take months to build up the right sites in the right way. The secrets of making money are often a bit more simple and take more time.

While there is no “get rich quick” method, short of soliciting a Senate seat:) there is a sure way to make money with a professionally written business plan. When a business owner begins the process of establishing credit for business, they have an end goal in mind. While the specifics may vary, the end goal is the same: Creating a more successful business. For business credit, financial institutions and investors alike require a “business sample,” in the form of a professional business plan. That business plan shows banks and other potential investors that you did your homework. It shows them that you know your market, its potential, your competitors and the direction and steps you intend to take to increase your earnings and market presence.

Can you get Business Capital in Hard Times?

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

So what does that business owner do? They have no other way to go and get money and believe it or not most of the reasons the personal credit is so low is not from paying bills late! It’s from taking on too much debt or having so many inquiries personally that the score drops even if they pay their bills two weeks early, crazy right? So back to what I was saying, having the pleasure I call it, of working with these business owners on a daily basis, it has come to my attention, are we really doing a service for them? Wouldn’t it be crazy to think that I could have a personal fico score of 350 and have a business separate from me and still get 100k, 200k…. not realistic in today’s times.

There is no substitute for building the separate credit of the business. You can see results within three to four months. You can build upon those results to seek larger sources of funding. The business owners that I assist have seen great results using this process. They have gone on to acquire large credit lines, equipment leases, and vehicle financing. While a business owner is building the credit of that business, they often require an infusion of capital between the initial family and friends investment and the bank investment. That is where an angel investor would come in.

An angel investor is a person who invests in start up businesses. They are taking on a very high risk investment; most new businesses fail within two years. As a result, the investor is looking for an ownership percentage in exchange for the money invested. This is not to say that this investor will always have some ownership interest in the business. Approximately 90% of time, once the loan is paid back, the ownership interest is returned to the owner. While temporarily sacrificing a percentage of ownership may not appeal to some, it may be the road to success.

When a business owner decides to seek an investment from angel investor they must prepare a business plan. The plan presents the potential angel investor with something that outlines several different facets of the business with everything from financial projections to management profiles. A business plan is something that any business will need in order to seek substantial funding. An angel investor will invest anywhere from $25,000 to $3,000,000. As you can see, there is a very wide spectrum. There many factor which will influence the investment amount. If you need an Angel call Business Credit Solutions at 877-330-9288.
