Small Business

Many small business owners struggle with obtaining business finance, and there is absolutely nothing unusual about this. Getting a business loan for small businesses, such as retailers, restaurants, garages and so on, is not as simple as one would think from the bank. This is not to say however, that getting a business loan is not possible. It all depends on where one goes looking for the loan. Typically, there are two primary options that business owners have, approaching their local banks and going to a private funder or lender. Banks and small business loans Banks look at applications for small business loans from their perspective and their perspective is determined by their criteria. When we speak of criteria, there are numerous criteria and these are all non-flexible as well as stringent. Typically, banks require high credit scores, which should be around about 700 or over. If a business applying for a loan with the bank lacks excellent credit, their application will be rejec...

Why So Many Businesses

Having been a small business owner and consultant for twenty-plus years, I had the opportunity to learn from my own mistakes, as well as, seeing the business failings of others. I have learned that there are definitely reasons why a small business fails; why some are successful; and why certain types of people are more successful business owners and entrepreneurs. The good news is most successful small business owners had many failings before achieving a level of success, and the object of this article is to identify their (and my) mistakes. Lack of Capital When starting a business, an entrepreneur needs to first bring sufficient cash to the venture. I recommend a minimum 10% of the total funding amount to come from Owner's Equity, with 20% being optimum. Having a strong equity stake in the beginning of a Company's life makes acquiring the additional capital much easier and less expensive. Strong Owner's Equity shouldn't stop after a Company's start up stage. A C...

Job Versus Business Ownership

For most people, going to formal school is with the aim of finishing with good grades so that one could land himself or herself with a white-collar job. The call to finish with good grades is usually from parents, relatives, and at times classmates at school. Very few people talk about starting their own business on completion of formal school (at least the first degree). The reason is because majority of people in the world are in paid employment working for very few individuals who have gotten themselves to think outside the idea of working for others to creating employment themselves for others. Majority who work for business owners are very rarely able to think of life as their own boss. They are so used to receiving salary either weekly or monthly that they become relaxed and assume it would continue to remain so. Even though some people dream of becoming their own boss someday, very few are able to actualize this dream. The fear of failure and what people might say is what kee...

5 Keys to Create a Thriving Business

One of the challenges I see frequently when meeting with solo-entrepreneurs who have been in business for less than 5 years and are trying to build a solid business, is an inability to ensure that they get to keep a significant amount of the money that they earn. Most people who start a business fail to understand the significance of creating and managing a budget, largely because they don't have a budget in their personal lives. I've heard it said recently that "how you do money is how you do everything." Typically new entrepreneurs earn and spend, sometimes without ever letting the money they earn get appropriated to their business account. Did you catch that? Yes, I am talking about embezzling from your business. Sadly, most entrepreneurs do not have a business background and often start their business out of necessity, lacking the skills, strategies and solutions to ensure that they are building a thriving enterprise. Most people live in a "feast or famine...
