Bootstrapping
Most small business people finance their business with their own savings, credit cards, home equityloans, or money borrowed from friends and family banks. Local banks can work with you to secure a commercial loan, However, they will want to see evidence of the 7 C’s of Credit: Credit Score, Collateral, Cash Flow, Conditions, Competence, Character and Capital. Before approaching the bank, you will want to have a solid business plan.
SBA
The Small Business Administration provides loan guarantees to banks to encourage funding of small businesses. The SBA does not give out loans; rather, they lend support to your loan request from a bank. The SBA’s website has many excellent, free online courses that can help you get your business started.
