Off The Beaten Track
There's more to financing than banks alone.
When the banks say no and your angels haven't come through,
alternative financing sources may help fund your dream. A couple to
consider: - At QLender, entrepreneurs
choose the type of loan desired, and lenders from across the
country respond if interested. Small businesses can secure term
loans, lines of credit, business credit cards, commercial real
estate, equipment leases, SBA loans and other business services
through the site.
- Apple, FedEx, Intel and Staples are among the major
corporations that got their start with financing from Small
Business Investment Co., a group of public/private programs
represented by the National Association of Small Business
Investment Companies (NASBIC). There are 356 SBICs operating
nationwide. Contact NASBIC at (202) 628-5055, or check out its Web
site at www.nasbic.org.
Pamela Rohland writes about the joys and tribulations of
entrepreneurship for a variety of regional and national business
publications.
