Business Financing
Every small business owner needs to understand how to allocate the financial resources of the business in order to maximize the wealth of the business. There are three major decisions which have to be made: which investments to make (capital budgeting), where to get the funds to make the investments (business financing), and how to repay the funds borrowed from equity investors (dividend policy). We concentrate here on the middle decision.
Business Financing is the process of bringing into the business funds from external investors and creditors to invest in profitable projects to grow the business. Funds take the form of either debt or equity.
In debt financing is money is borrowed to be repaid over a fixed period of time, generally with interest. Debt financing may be short-term (repaid in full in less than one year) or long-term (repaid in full in more than one year). The lender derives no ownership interest in the business and the business has no other obligations except full repayment of the loan when due and if funds are available. Personal guarantees are normally required for small businesses and therefore personal credit history becomes very important.
In equity financing, money is exchanged for a share of ownership in the business. So the business raises funds without incurring debt and has no obligation to repay specific sums at specific milestones. The ownership interests of the principals may become diluted and their control can erode especially as additional investors are added. Equity includes common stock and preferred stock.
Equity investors in the business take more business risk than debt investors and may not receive payment until the creditors are repaid and the management of the business decides to distribute funds back to the investors.

Wanna Make An EZ$20-$200 A Day, Over And Over?

http://ezmoneytoday.ws Wanna Make An Easy $20-$200 A Day, Over And Over? You Can With This Easy, But Complete, And VERY Affordable Website Re-Seller Package! Plenty Of E-books, Software, FREE Advertising Resources, And Support, ALL For A One-Time, VERY Affordable Price! I am going to give you an insight on how to drive traffic to your website and duplicate the same success I have had through the program. First of all don't worry! The information I will explain on how to drive traffic is 100% free ways. These methods are free, and also known as web 2.0 marketing which are free, free! So here we go... There are several ways to generate or drive traffic to a website. The idea is to go to free social/community websites available like YouTube, MySpace, and Squidoo, and drive traffic from these websites to your own. Now, the mistake people make when marketing to these people on social networking sites is they try to sell a product to them. You might say, "well isn't that the idea", no it is not. People do not want to be sold to, especially people who are browsing the internet. Your approach in marketing to people on social networking sites, is to brand yourself, then offer your products. When people see a face along with a product it breaks the ice and the more they see your face and hear your voice, the more comfortable they will become. The more comfortable a person is, its more likely they will purchase your products and become a valued customer. Its simple as that! Now how exactly, do you drive traffic from these social websites? Well, thats simple. Most people already have MySpace pages, and browse YouTube and Squidoo but if you don't, sign up for an account on all three websites. Remember the purpose is to brand yourself, so write down some of your goals, ambitions, where you are and where you hope to be in the future. You may not have success selling online and thats fine, but do not lie! Do not make the mistake of starting an account with these websites, lie and say you are a millionaire with thousands of dollars. Be honest, just say that you are into internet marketing and your goals are this or your goal is that. Most of the time the comfort level is just seeing someone that people can relate to. People want to buy from someone they can trust. The more people see you, the more they will trust you. Now as your success grows, you can always change your information, just remember to be honest. YouTube is the most powerful marketing tool because your customers will see your face and or hear your voice, also you can put your YouTube videos on your MySpace and Squidoo page. With YouTube, do not get discouraged if you do not have a video camera or have no experience with movies because 99% of YouTubers are amateurs and thats ok. Most people do not know, but every computer has the software you need to make movies. If you have a PC, you have Windows Movie Maker software which allows you to make movies, and if you have a Mac, you have iMovie which allows you to make movies as well. The only thing you may need is a microphone (if your computer doesn't already come with one) which you can purchase for like $20. Now you have all the tools necessary! There are also free videos on YouTube that will show you step by step how to make movies if you have no experience with Windows Movie Maker or iMovie. Also, you will receive tons of tools in addition to the information I am giving you here. So, your success is just around the corner! Throughout my journey in marketing and selling products, I have learned a lot through experience, and through the knowledge I received from my mentor. The best thing to do once you receive information is to put it into action. I am willing to help you as much as I can, so if you have questions contact me my info is below.

Financing Business Books
by Steven K. Gold
Amazon Price: $10.85
Customer Review: This book is a great overview for someone just beginning to think about starting a business venture, but it seemed to be more focused towards the needs of a large venture, rather than a small business. It covered a lot that I thought would not be applicable to the type of business I want to start -- a small town retail shop where I plan to run the business myself and will not hire executives or get funding from investors (other than probably a local bank or the SBA). Perhaps this just shows my ignorance of what owning a small business is about, though!
I also have to express my disagreement with his comments regarding attorneys. (Disclosure: I am currently an associate at a big law firm.) It sounds like he happened to get some bad attorneys. For what it's worth, my thoughts, based on my own observations of attorneys at large and small firms (my own firms and opposing firms), are this: (1) I don't think his experiences reflect the services provided by all large law firms -- I think the quality of services you get depends on whether you hire a good INDIVIDUAL attorney, not law firm, (2) you are much more likely to have someone "learn on your dime" at a small firm than a large one simply because attorneys at large firms do a lot more business and specialize in certain areas and therefore become more experienced with matters that arise in those areas, (3) most small firm attorneys will NOT be as great as the ones he found, and (4) most partners are so distracted by bringing in business and a million other things that associates are much more likely to focus on your deal, keep things moving quickly, and actually pay attention to the details. I think the ideal arrangement for a small business owner is to find a good associate who has a good partner to ask for guidance on big issues when needed. I just don't think it's fair to generalize that all big firm attorneys are terrible and negligent with small clients, or that associates are all clueless and learning on your dime. (I can provide proof in the form of reviews from my large and small business clients!) That all being said, there are some fantastic attorneys at small shops and if you find one, you will pay much less for their services. My best advice on finding a good attorney (whether at a large firm or a small firm) is to get referrals from other business owners.

Amazon Price: $32.97
Customer Review: This book is a must-read for anyone who plans on seeking venture capital to fund their company. Many entrepreneurs are able to develop great ideas and technologies, but don't know how to seek funding for their company. This book offers practical guidance for the fundraising process, and provides a rare glimpse into the mind of a venture capitalist who actually funds early-stage companies. The author is a partner at a leading European VC firm, but his insights apply to entrepreneurs in the US as well. All in all, a valuable book that is also easy to follow.

Amazon Price: $53.55
Customer Review: The examples provided break down every part of structured finance you need to know. Fabozzi must understand the importance of a strong foundation because he lays one out for you in every piece he writes. I have learned more from reading his work than studying finance at school. He takes concepts and applies them to the real world in a way we can understand. His method allows us to think up more complex scenarios before he presents them to us himself. I recommend this as a great intro to SF and Fabozzi for any further reading in the sections of the industry that are new to you.
