Are you ready to grow your business without depleting your savings? Join us for this dynamic livestream where we dive into the world of Leveraging Other People’s Money (OPM)—a game-changing strategy for small business owners looking to expand, innovate, and thrive! 🚀

In this LIVE, we’ll explore practical ways to reduce personal financial risk by accessing external capital and resources. You’ll learn how to navigate traditional business loans through banks, credit unions, or the SBA, including term loans, lines of credit, and equipment financing. We’ll also discuss how business credit cards can help manage short-term expenses while earning rewards—but with tips on avoiding the debt trap.

We’ll uncover alternative strategies like crowdfunding on platforms such as Kickstarter for reward-based campaigns and Wefunder for equity crowdfunding—great ways to validate your idea while attracting investors. You’ll hear insights on engaging angel investors and venture capitalists to secure significant capital and how to align with investors who share your vision to avoid ownership conflicts.

Wondering how to secure funding that doesn’t need to be repaid? We’ll show you how to tap into government grants and subsidies from federal programs like SBIR and local development funds. Discover the benefits of vendor credit, allowing you to defer payments and improve terms by fostering strong relationships with suppliers.

This session also covers the power of partnerships, joint ventures, and business incubators/accelerators that can provide funding, mentorship, and access to valuable industry networks. For businesses needing essential equipment or real estate, we’ll explore leasing and financing options to minimize upfront costs—plus factoring and invoice financing strategies for managing cash flow during long payment cycles.

And that’s not all! We’ll discuss creative funding options like peer-to-peer lending, family and friend loans, and franchise financing programs. Whether it’s microloans from Kiva or CDFIs, or leveraging home equity loans carefully, we’ll guide you on crafting a diversified OPM strategy that aligns with your business goals.

• A roadmap for accessing multiple funding sources
• Tips for building trust with lenders, vendors, and investors
