I have come to the conclusion that securing additional funds is not the key to the success of my business. I'm in buisness to make money, not to take on additional debt personally or professionally. In my personal life, previous financial difficulties were not the result of overspending, but from extenuating circumstancces. I'm careful about not signing contracts that cannot be cancelled without heavy fines. I won't invest in unnecessary overhead, materials or supplies. I'm examining my business strategy: What does my business do? Who do I serve? How do I serve them? How am I doing with that? The comment by the expert seems like the most appropriate solution.
First and foremost I must say Thank you Natalie for this post. I too am finding it very difficult to get the much needed help I need to move forward in my business.I have paid for services to get grant help but nothing applied to me...I have had counselors from Score and dealings with the SBA and still to this day NO HELP. I find it to be very hard for anyone to really get started into today's economy.I've had a hard time securing funds to establish my business but I won't give up.
My credit is good and I have not needed a business loan yet, but this is really valuable information for my future business ventures. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You forgot factoring your accounts receivable.
1. Bank money is cheapest and hardest to get/qualify for.
2. Factoring is next and only works for commercial companies.
3. Equity Dollars are the most expensive form of funding for companies but makes sense when a company needs to spend alot before it can get into revenue.
Please clarify your question. For example, if someone is working from home for Ameriplan, are you concerned about whether Ameriplan would steal from you? What do you mean by "steal"?
Hello Natale,
I understand how you feel regarding personal credit problems. The good thing about it is now you can work on it and correct the problem so you can move forward. I myself am beginning to fix my personal credit. I do not have friends or family that will help me with my business financially. I have a fulltime job as an employee and I am still trying to put forth my at home business and its not easy. It can be very discouraging at times but I just refuse to be someone elses employee for the rest of my life. I am a single, minority parent of two sons and I want them to see hard work pays off.
