How Much Financing Do You Want?

It happens at least once a week: I’ll ask a business owner applying for a loan how much money he or she needs and I will get an answer like, “as much as you can get me.”

The mayor’s Department of Small Business Services and the EDC are also offering low interest loans of up to $25,000. There is $10 million available, made up of an initial $5 million investment from the City matched by another $5 million from Goldman Sachs.

Event: Learn How to Get Financing for Your Business

Credit is a powerful tool, whether you are launching a new business, operating or looking to expand.

In my July Cash is King post, I briefly mentioned lines of credit as providing one possible solution for a small business facing cash flow problems. With the holidays right around the corner, businesses stocking up on inventory, and potential customers opening up their wallets, I thought it would be helpful to revisit lines of credit and explain how a business can best take advantage of one.

Factoring: Another Financing Alternative

Calling all small business owners: Do you carry accounts receivables? Your receivables have a unique value to your business.

Factoring (also known as Invoice Factoring or Accounts Receivable Factoring) is defined as a financial transaction in which a business sells its accounts receivables (invoices) to a third party (factor) at a discount in exchange for immediate cash with which to finance ongoing business.
