Funding Strategies

Start ups and growing businesses always need money, sometimes even when they don’t think they do.

The questions are: How does my business get money? When, where and how do I start looking for it?

First, you have to answer a few basic questions. How much do I think my business needs? What is my business' current status and structure? Am I dealing from strength or weakness? What’s it going to do for my business? What am I willing to give up for it? Is debt or equity better or should I consider a merger or out right sale?

Biz Strategies can help you work through these questions and help lay out your strategy for getting the money you need.

There are several avenues for getting money:

• Your Savings
• Bank loans. Mortgaging your assets.
• Friends and Family
• SBA (Small Business Administration) Loans
• Grants
• Business - Business Strategic Alliance(s)
• Angel Investors
• Venture Capital
• Direct Public Offerings - Private Placements
  • Regulation "D," also referred to as just Reg D
  • SCOR - Small Corporate Offering Registration
  • SB-2 Registration
• General Public Offerings:
  • Through a broker dealer
    • Major Stock Exchange
    • OTCBB
    • Pink Sheets
• Reverse Merger into a public shell

All avenues have pro's and con's that you have to take into consideration before jumping into something you may end up being sorry for.

Biz Strategies can help you sort through all this, support your business plan development, point you in the right direction for raising money and support your efforts for getting the money in the bank. Note: We do not raise money; we help you and your business with funding strategies.
