How To Finance Your Business? One of the most important steps in finding small business finance sources is to figure out how you are going to get financing for your new business venture.

Some People Self Finance Their Business By Using Their Own Money And Assets

This way of financing your business is by far the most popular and the easiest way to go.

Some People Are Financed By Asking Their Family And Friends For Financial Help.

Asking for help from family and friends is the second most popular method to come up with financing for your business.  With anything there are ups and downs.  By taking money from someone else you may be at their beckoning call. 

They may want ownership in your business or they may want to be a silent partner.  Or they may just simply want to loan or give you the money to help you out.

Some Seek Assistance From The Small Business Administration For Help

The Small Business Administration is one of the best places to start research on just about anything you need to know about starting a small business.  They are one of the best places to find small business finances sources that are available for a start up.

They have a vast amount of services that can help you with the total process.  They also have programs available to help you with small business loans.  They can tell you exactly what you need to do to obtain a one of their loans.

Others Seek Financial Assistance From A Bank or Financial Institution

Getting a loan from a banking institution for business start up is one of the most difficult methods of obtaining a business loan if you are new to business and have not attained a track record yet. 

It is best if you are already established in business to obtain a loan from a bank for business.  So I am not sure how good that is for start ups.  It is possible to get one, but not likely in the beginning.

In a round an about way you can have a bank help you with financing your business by using your own credit card for business transactions.

Others Apply For Small Business Start Up Grants Or Some Type Of Government Assistance

This is the “Most Wanted”   method of obtaining money for business start up.  Just imagine you have just obtained some type of  small business start up grants from the government for $25,000 for your business venture and you don’t have to pay any of it back to them, Yeah Right... 

This can happen to you, but chances are probably slim.  What I am trying to say is the government really doesn’t just give money away for nothing.  You have to have something that they can use.

For example; there may be a push for minority contractor for a specific service that they want.  So you can bid on that contract.  And you may or may not be the one that they pick for it. 

Its not a simple process where you fill out some paperwork and automatically you a selected because you filled out the papers. Its not as easy as most people have come to believe.

Setting Up Your Debt Reduction Strategy

It has been said time and again, if you don’t take care of your business, no one will do it for you. What in the world does that statement mean? It means exactly what it implies. Take Care Of Your Business Or It Will Never Get Done! You and only you can and will take care of you.

You Have To:

Figure out where you are going and how you are planning on getting there.

Set Goals daily, monthly and yearly. Basically always set goals.

Figure out how you are going to meet them.

Build and protect your estate.

After your acquire all of the before mentioned objectives, you will finally be Taking Care Of Your Business.

How Can You Reduce Your Total Debt?

Stop worrying about your interest rates.

Change your bill paying strategy.

Start with your small balance bill first this is your target bill.

Your target bill is the bill you are paying off at that time.

Pay the minimum balance on all of your other debts.

Put the rest of the money on your target bill.

Once your target bill is paid off. Start paying on your next target bill.

In just a matter of time you will become debt free.

This method of paying off your debt one target bill at a time is really effective. Every time you pay off a bill you will have the personal satisfaction of knowing that you are absolutely finished with it. The balance is Zero on the debt. And you are the one that did it.
