Microloans and Small Business Financing

Get an overview of funding options to secure financing for a small business. Understand topics such as debt and equity options for a small business, how to obtain a small-business loan (from both micro-lenders and traditional banks), crowdfunding, equity investors and others.

You'll learn methods, best practices, strategies, and written and verbal preparation in a review of the elements of loan packaging, as well as how to review loan packages from lenders' viewpoints. This will allow you to seek the right funding sources to package loans for specific targeted funders/investors who match your specific industry. Evaluate funding products and assess which products and lenders are most appropriate for specific loan packages. Complete customized, abbreviated Executive Summary business plans that will supplement specific funders' loan application requirements. Form lender funding groups that are organized by either industry-specific and/or funding product–specific (equity investment groups, traditional loan groups, micro-loan groups, inventor-seeking funding and alternative funding sources groups).
