This book is dedicated to anyone who is looking to continue to grow and improve themselves. You are either improving or you are on the decline, there is no in between. Let’s use a tomato for an example; when a tomato is growing it is green but once it turns red it is ripe but it also begins to die. There is no room for the tomato to be idle. If nature adheres to such a principal, then we are no different. So much respects to those seeking self-improvement and growth.

Introduction

Now is a great time for those who have that entrepreneurial spirit to either begin a new business venture or expand an existing project. Having a fantastic idea for a business is great but unless you have money to fund the project it will remain an idea. Upon finishing this book you will have learned several ways that you can raise the necessary capital for your business venture. We’re going to cover topics such as borrowing funds from family and friends, using private equity, angel investors, SBA loans, venture capitalist, etc.

Let’s begin by understanding a few reasons why you should or should not raise money for a business. The biggest reason why I would consider raising money for a business is because statistics show that the #1 reason why businesses fail is because there wasn’t enough capital to fund the project. The majority of entrepreneur who begin a business don’t have enough money to get through the learning curve of the business which is associated with any new venture. Along with having to learn the business, it takes some time to acquire your initial customer base, build relationships with the necessary vendors, buy assets and equipment, and establish several other required elements that need a certain amount of time to get going. So it may seem that when you are beginning a business you are buying time to get to a point where you can operate efficiently.

There are several reasons why you would not want to raise money for your business also. For example when you borrow money for a new venture via friends, Uncle Tommy, an investor, whatever; there will be strings attached to borrowing that money. Also, in certain cases dealing with your uncle can be harder to deal with than getting the money loaned from a professional investor.

So having a business and running it effectively is a tough task to begin with and when any type of investor gets involve a new element is created. These investor relationships are going to require time and energy. This is especially the case for those who prefer professional investors because they have now become your partner since they’ve made an investment in your business. I am not saying that they will be able to control you, but you will have to answer to them in a sense. You will likely have to provide performance/milestone updates because they will want to know how things are going. Sometimes this can put business owners on the defensive but you want to be transparent with your investors because this allows them to feel better about their investment even if things are not going according to plans.

If somebody is utilizing their hard earned money to back your business venture, they might approach you saying Hey, I really want to talk to you and find out how everything is going. Telling them that I’m too busy is not going to be a reasonable answer. Being dishonest and untruthful will do irreversible damage to your relationship with your investors, so it’s better to being completely honest. You have to understand that a lot of these investors are experienced, have many connections, and would love to see you prosper because they have a vested interest in your business. In other words, you can say that they have been there and done that. This is especially the case when dealing with angel investors and venture capitalist because these people once were entrepreneurs and former business owners so they understand the struggle. When you have an open line of communication with your investors you will not only build trust and rapport with them, but you will also find that they know the answer to your problems a lot of the times.

An interesting fact to point out is that there isn’t nearly as many entrepreneurs as there are investors out there today. Being what is known as an entrepreneur takes more than skill; you have to be a source of creative energy to these investors who are drained of their energy or have run out of creative ideas that could possible turn into a great business. You must give them this energy and they must feel that you possess it because they have the capital to invest and they want to make it earn.

If your business idea is on the back of a napkin it’s going to be pretty tough to raise any money if at all. The more that you go into testing and proving a thoroughly laid out business plan, the more money you will be able to receive from an investor.

Now let’s get into some meat, typically there are 5 primary ways that money is raised to establish a business. For those looking to get started in something like the health care industry could probably get a
