Business Grants

January 22nd, 2010

One of the best places to research the availability of business grants and loans is the Small Business Administration, an agency of the federal government with a mandate to help business, especially small business succeed.

The idea of obtaining a small business grant, for many small business owners, is great.

Your chances of obtaining grants for your business dramatically increase if you have a non-profit organization. This isn’t to say that assistance isn’t available at all, just that grants are probably a long process when and if you happen to find one where your small business fits. » Read more: Business Grants

How To Get Your Bank Manager To Sanction Your Loan Application

October 10th, 2009

Financial skills are one of the most important skills to master in business. You will need financing at some stage in your business; beginning, expansion, or for equipment purchases. Understanding what a lender will be looking for and being able to provide it, will improve your chances of financial success.

Financial Ability to Repay

One of the most obvious things that a lender will be interested in is the ability of you to financially repay the loan that you are requesting. Before you present your loan request, create a current list of assets, income and liabilities. Create this list for both your personal finances and your business finances; the lender will want to see both. Include your business’ assets as well to show the progress that your business has made if you are requesting an expansion loan. Lenders will be impressed with growth. Lenders also like to see assets that will protect them in the event of a defaulted loan and a Borrower that is organised and proactive in preparing this information will be impressive. » Read more: How To Get Your Bank Manager To Sanction Your Loan Application

Change Your Mindset To Make More Money

December 11th, 2008

As I first began my quest for financial independence, many of the books I read or the speakers I listened to(I read a LOT of books, bought a lot of tapes, and attended a LOT of seminars) all talked about the “psychological aspect” of success. This was frustrating to me because I wanted to learn of a vehicle to take me to financial success. I did not want to hear the psychological mumbo jumbo.

However, once I DID find a vehicle and began to prosper financially, I discovered how important the mind really is to be at your best-both physically and emotionally, as well as financially.To ignore this, you will find yourself far less successful than you could be.

This fact was brought home to me recently when one of my clients was getting discouraged. Her home business was not growing as fast as she wanted it to. » Read more: Change Your Mindset To Make More Money
