Financing Your Small Business

Let's look at the options available for financing a small business. Friends and family are still your best source for both loans and equity deals. Credit cards are a good tool for cash flow management, assuming you use them wisely and not for long-term financing. Bank loans can vary, from microloans of a few hundred dollars, typically offered by local community banks, to six-figure loans by major national banks. These are much easier to obtain when backed by assets like home equity or third-party guarantors such as government-sponsored SBA loans. Leasing is the way to go if you need big-ticket items such as equipment or vehicles. Angel investors fill the gap between friends and family and venture capitalists, who now rarely even look at investments below $1 million. Venture capital represents an alternative when the bank says "no". Venture capitalists are looking for the same information as the banks and will conduct similar due diligence, but they typically specialize in an industry and are more willing to take on higher-risk loans if they see the potential.
