Money, Money, Money!
Getting the Cash You Need Quickly and Easily by Going to Right Place at the Right Time
5:27 AM
Dear Entrepreneur:
Money makes the world go round…..or is that love? Well…..let’s just say money makes business go round. One question I often receive is, “Do you have any money sources I could use?”
Most of the entrepreneurs know I’m not a big fan of borrowing money to start a business. But sometimes money can help you expand a profitable business, get equipment, or branch out into other ventures. On top of that, when you have access to capital you can acquire a business, develop real estate, buy a manufacturing plant or import products from other countries…to cite a few examples.
Today I’ll focus on legitimate money and lending sources.
I’ve included links to angel investors, venture capital, grants, low (and no) interest loans and more. Let’s get this party started…..and get the money you need!
There is a cardinal rule of successful borrowing and getting the money you need. It is this… Focus on the bank, investor or money sources which specialize in the type of loan you seek.
In other words, if a bank, investment firm or money source specialize in loans for real estate, then seek this source for real estate deals. If a bank or money source specializes in business acquisition or expansion, then seek these them for this purpose.
Too often entrepreneurs approach a bank with a great proposal or executive summary only to be turned down. For example, if you approach a small local bank for a loan to expand your import business the chances are slim to none of obtaining it.
What’s more, if you approach a Wall Street investment bank for a $40,000 auto loan, you’ll probably be turned down. But… if you apply for an auto loan at a local credit union specializing in auto loans the chances are very high you’ll get it!
It’s important to focus on the bank or money sources which specialize in the type of loan you seek. Grants follow this same logic…
The reason most grant proposals are turned down is because they don’t focus on grantor’s sole objective. If you want grant money to build your operation then build your proposal around the grantor’s sole objective (not yours).
One of my favorite money source gurus is Tyler Hicks. If you research his site, books and products you’ll see what I mean. I’ve been a subscriber to his newsletters for more than 15 years.

Solvent Investment Banks
An investment bank is a financial institution which assists corporations and governments in raising capital by underwriting and acting as the agent in the issuance of securities.
In other words, an investment bank typically focuses on larger corporations and governments to raise capital.
Investment banks do not usually work with small companies or entrepreneurs.
An investment bank also helps companies involved in mergers and acquisitions.
Unlike commercial and retail banks investment banks do not receive deposits from customers.
Hot Money Sources on the Web!
FreddieMac(They’re still in business and making loans!)
As I said…Ty Hicks publishes International Wealth Success which focuses on money sources, grants, angel investors and contacts in the lending industry. You’ll find hundreds of viable money sources and contacts at IWS.
Fast Cash Loans and Money Additional Money Sources
Fast cash or micro business loan are usually in the $1000 to $20,000 range.
A new web-based micro-lender called Kiva enables investors to make some micro loans to entrepreneurs in developing countries.
Philanthropists Can Donate Cash for the “Right” Causes
Wealthy individuals enthusiastically hand over millions of dollars through foundations, to people and causes.
The “right cause” is a key to receiving money for your cause or venture.
The likelihood of receiving money from wealthy individuals to pay bills, buy a new car, or acquire a new boat is pretty slim.
But thousands of people, groups and organizations receive money from wealthy individuals by asking for it, or by promising to commit the funds to the “right cause.”
The late Percy Ross in Edina, Minnesota was the founder of the “Thanks a Million” newspaper column. It reached millions of people every week. Individuals could write to Percy with their requests, and many of the requests were honored with an award.
Here are some wealthy individuals and organizations granting cash awards to the “right causes” on a regular basis:

***** Action Strategy *****
Why do you need money? Is it to acquire or expand a business? Or would you like to develop some real estate or buy foreclosed homes and condos?
Whatever the reason it’s important to focus on the bank or money sources which specialize in the type of loan you seek. In other words, if a bank, investment bank or money source specializes in loans for real estate, then go to this source for real estate deals.
Contact the money source and ask them for an application, or to explain their process for getting the capital you need.
Granted, everyone gets turned down for money requests. No problem. If you focus on money sources ALREADY granting requests in your area, the odds increase in your favor…..in a big way! Have fun and play nice.
