Small Business Bootstrapping

More about the book

Financing a new small business is usually the most difficult part of starting a business. Trying to find money to start a business often feels more like searching for the <i>Holy Grail.</i> Although there is no simple solution, Small Business Bootstrapping provides a basic guide through the maze of financing options available-from "normal" business financing sources to alternative and creative sources. Foster's book pays particular attention to the financing model of <i>Bootstrapping</i>, which is available to all aspiring and new entrepreneurs-if you have what it takes. With this book you will be able to: Understand the challenge of financing a small business. Make sense of bank, SBA, or other "normal" financing. Demystify Venture Capital and Angel investing. Learn about Crowdfunding and other "creative" financing. Gain an understanding of "real" Bootstrapping. All of this is from the entrepreneur's point of view-not from the banker's, investor's, or academician's lofty views. This book is one of Foster's <b> <i>Small Business Primer Series, </i> </b> where a "Primer" is defined as <i>any book of elementary principles.</i>
