Best Sources for Business Financing, in order
Mar 10, 2016 11:29PM PST

The best financing, in order of best to worst, are as follows:

1) Boot Strapping
2) IRS deductions
3) SBIR Grants
4) State or Local Economic Development Organizations
5) SBA 7(a) loans
6) The Bank - but they are declining nearly 90% of applications
7) Smart Leases
Cool Angel Equity
9) Hard Money Loans
10) Personal (NOT Business) Credit Cards
11) The alternative finance market

By the way, I am involved with number 11... and I honestly advise you to exhaust 1-10 before you come to someone like me.
