3 Ideas for Business Financing in a Tough Market

One of the key parts of a successful wealth strategy is using leverage. Leverage can take on many different forms – leveraging your time, leveraging your contacts or leveraging your knowledge.

The form of leverage most people are familiar with is a loan, which is a way to leverage your assets. Leverage in this case may be a mortgage on a piece of property or a line of credit in your business.

Many wealth strategies include a business, and having financing available in that business is a critical part of the success of the business and the wealth strategy.

With the credit markets tightening, I’ve had many people ask me for new ideas on how to get financing for the business because the traditional ways are either limiting their business or not available at all.

The answer? This is where I use leverage, and leverage my contacts. I recently met David Gass, CEO & Founder of a business credit company and we instantly clicked. Why? Because I love thinking outside the box. When I do tax planning, I love finding creative ways to legally reduce taxes. David does the same thing in the business credit world. David shared some fantastic ideas with me on business financing options in today’s market, and I’m excited to share a few of them with you.

#1 Leasing A company can use leasing as an option to finance their business. A lot of equipment and even software can be leased. There is extremely beneficial to start-up companies and those looking for large equipment purchases. The company doesn’t have to pay up front for a large ticket item, which then conserves cash for the growth and day to day operations of the company.

#2 Accounts Receivable (A/R) Factoring If a company has accounts receivable with other businesses with decent history and credit scores, a factoring company will come in and buy the receivables for a discount on the future value. The business gets money now and the factoring company waits for the invoices to be paid. When they are paid by the customers of the business, the factoring company gets their share and repayment on the advance.

#3 Merchant Account Cash Advance Programs Although this type of financing can be expensive it is still a great option for some businesses. This type of financing is for businesses with a merchant account charging more than ,000 per month on the account. Many merchant cash advance companies will advance up to three months charges on a merchant account with very little personal credit information required to obtain the loan. The loan is then paid back out of future merchant account activity as a percentage of the total amount charged that month.

Get Creative…It’s Legal! As I said, I love tax planning because it allows me to be creative. Sometimes prospects ask me if what I do is legal. Is it? Of course it is! The secret is knowing the tax law so well that I know what is possible…and legal! The same is true in the financing world.

Some Business Financing Ideas

People usually think that having a business is the only way to becoming financially free. Yes, this can be true as having a business allows the person to be in total control of his time. However, before he can do this, he should know that in starting a business, there would be a lot of things to consider.

Before a business becomes successful, a person should know that there are a lot of things to be done first. He should know that to be able to become financially free, he should work really hard especially when he is just starting up his business.

Business is a world that is quite risky and when one does not know what he is doing, his business can fail and that can spell catastrophe. All his work and life-savings can be lost when he is not careful.

With starting small businesses, an important thing to be considered is about the proper business financing methods that would be done. There are different kinds of steps that can be done in order to have the finance that is needed in starting a business or purchasing an existing one.

Some of these steps that people can consider in business financing are: self financing, financing from family and friends, banks, private investors, leasing companies, and even insurance companies. With these numerous ways of getting enough money for an investment, it should not be that hard to come up with the enough resource needed to start a small business or purchase an existing one.

In getting these options, people starting their own business should carefully consider about the options that each method brings. With regards to business financing through family and friends, people should be very careful with this as mostly people who finance someone think that they would share some control over the business they are financing. There should be a clear contract to the limits of the things that family and friends can have with the business. Other things that are needed to be considered are the availability, the rate of return, the kind of risks to be accepted, and the time allotted in returning the money that was borrowed.

Carefully planned steps in starting a business can give the businessman a better chance in succeeding and getting his financial freedom. A good business plan should be carefully laid, studied, and prepared in starting one’s own small business.

People may be dealing with large empires and businesses. But for those people who want to start afresh and get money for their ideas, there should be some opportunity which is made to provide them help.

Payment of labor, buying raw materials, setting up a new machine, marketing, packaging, or transport etc are a few of the many purposes that can be solved with the borrowed money.

For small business ideas, not very big amounts will be required by the businessmen. So for these loans, the borrowers are not required to pledge any assets with the lenders. This helps the tenants and non-homeowners in setting up their own business. The money may be availed on the business idea and it may even go up to £75000.

The borrower should prepare a report which establishes the idea of the business even more strongly. This will help the borrower in getting a lower rate of interest for these loans.

Bad credit borrowers who are in need of money can also take up money for their needs through these loans. Bad credit is common with the ups and downs of a business and it can be improved as well with the timely repayment of these loans. Online research and comparison of the loan deals can help in obtaining low rate deals for the businessmen.
