Financing Options for Small Businesses: Crash Course Entrepreneurship #16

This episode is near the end of this series, but entrepreneurship isn’t a linear journey. You might need funding to accomplish any of the steps to build a business, not just when you’re ready to take a product or service to market.
Some people look for money for their minimum viable product. Some market their product or service once everything is set up. And if you believe Silicon Valley legends, a few people get funding with just an idea. But where should we look?

I’m in love with this series. We always joke "this isn’t taught in schools" - but it is taught here. Thanks guys!

Whether you’re an individual in need of a personal loan or a business in need of funding to expand your operations, it’s important to understand what financing options are available to you. Loans and grants are the two most common ways to obtain funding. While the two accomplish the same end result, grants and loans are fundamentally different. Before submitting an application for either one, it’s important to understand the difference between a grant and a loan.The main difference between a grant and a loan is repayment. A loan requires you to repay the money you borrow, whereas a grant does not. Grants are, essentially, a gift. In other words, they’re non-repayable. I really appreciate this Chanel for letting have full knowledge about it. I also thank y’all Messiah that helped me out with my application and I got approved.

This was extremely helpful. I was JUST discussing how to get this startup I'm helping off the ground with my friend and this was extremely useful. Thankyou so much

[@luisalbertodiaz8138]

Appreciate Video clip! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Chireetler Become Athletes Rule (just google it)? It is a great one off guide for understanding how to get a government grant without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my friend Sam got cool results with it.

[@FJParravicini]

Oh my God dude, I haven't visited CC since high school and just found you guys are doing these series. They're amazing!

[@Sam-81810]

Sometimes you just have to get creative with your ideas when there’s not enough funding. Not everything requires large capital deposits, especially when it’s just the beginning. Netflix and amazon are two companies with humble beginnings, that grew as their revenue grew. Start small and build up as your sales grow

[@krollbrian1360]

After getting you New Business LLC verified the next thing to look at when starting a business is the funding and financing options that are available for you at that very moment. But the best funding/ Financing option that any business can get without worrying about paying back is Grant. Talking from experience I hired a Governmental Grant Agent early last year when i wanted to start my business. Everything went well and I was awarded $90k as startup capital. Unfortunately, my business went down due to miss management, I would have been in serious debt now if i started up with a loan or something.

Also if you want a bank loan not only should you have a really well written business plan. You should also open a business account at that bank and put as much as possible into it each month without taking any out. Think of this like saving for a house down payment. Only you have 10%-20% of the total amount you need saved start the paperwork for yhe loan. With a good plan, good history with a bank, and a good credit score, business loans are possible!

Here's a crash course I can get behind.

[@chillsahoy2640]

Whoa, your friends can just drop $3,000 on a tentative project that isn't even off the ground yet? These are very generous friends indeed. I suppose this is one of those societal barriers where people from poorer backgrounds are less likely to know wealthy friends who can become investors, so they can only rely on the third F.

[@pezpeculiar9557]

If you're creating a startup, worker cooperatives may be something to look into. They have ~5% higher productivity than traditional business structures and tend to have longer lifespans.

I just want to say i think the fools in the 3 F-list was a very stupid thing to say. I see my product as something valuable and especially now that we are starting up you'd be a fool not to give our service a try. The ones who see what we are doing are that smart ones

I'm not American and I didn't recognize it either as I didn't know "Kijiji" until I looked it up just now lol. Maybe it's only well-known in Canada? :P

Too much of talking.. I prefer moe animation and less text. Also break it down into multiple episodes. Video is too lengthy compared to old videos from crash course...
