To The Entreprenuer With A Good Business Idea and Plan...But Needs The Money To Get Started

 A Message From Jim Freeman

Dear Friend,

Many times I have been where you are right now, for me and for others I have helped. You've got a great business startup loan proposal...the right research, the right niche market, a solid business plan...and the raw guts to see it through. There is just one problem: Where do you get the money to get started?

A Business Startup Loan Instant Success

That's what Kamal Dallal of Washington Lease to Own LLC was facing when he began his new venture to help prospects with credit problems to get on a path to homeownership through a lease program with a purchase option:

"...Working with you has been the best business experience of my life. I cannot believe how quickly things came together for my new business startup loan. You helped me get the capital needed for the base, developed new sources for investor money and introduced me to a group of great lenders who provide the rest. We are closing 3-4 deals per month now with the likliehood of closing at a higher rate every month. You're lending and investing background, your connections and your track record all made a difference. You definitely 'delivered the groceries' when it came to finding the money and helping with the launch. Maybe the best part is that this business is so helpful to would be homeowners and investors alike that it is satisfying to me beyond the money."

Success Is A Process, Not An Event

You see, finding the money...the right money...is critical, but it is seldom the real constraint in launching your business or extending it. Yes, you've probably heard a lot about packaging, business plans, presentation, etc. and those certainly are important. But what is equally important is who you are and how you connect with the people from whom you are seeking assistance. The truth is that even people who have the right stuff in their proposal will often find it very difficult to get the needed money. According to Harvard Business School professors Mark Van Osnabrugge and Robert J. Robinson in their book Angel Investing :

"The struggle to grow an idea into a smoothly operating entrepreneurial entity is not for those who lack courage and the conviction of their ideals. Many people try each year, but only a small monority succeeds in the long run, and even fewer realize vast wealth by becoming publicly traded entities. Such are the perils and hurdles of entrepreneurship; the risks as well as the rewards are high. Although luck naturally has some say in the outcomes, perseverance and making smart moves are key ingredients. Yet even with these contributing factors, entrepreneurial dreams often come to an end for want of the thousands (if not millions) of dollars each needs as fuel to run and propel itself forward."

True enough, but oftentimes you don't need as much money as you think to start a really good business. As the story goes, Amazon.com was launched initially with $40,000 of cash from family, friends and a lot of sweat equity from founder Jeff Bezos and his crew. Later, a first round of angel capital raised $1.0mm. One $100K investor in that first round ended up with $26mm at his exit from the investment. While it is unlikely that you will achieve the results that Mr. Bezos has with study, application and the right help you have a fighting chance of creating a company with lasting value.

It's About More Than Money

Frankly, that is what excites me about helping you. With over 30 years of entrepreneurial experience myself I know enough about the success and failure process to be of use to you. I think entrepreneurs and business owners are very valuable people to the well functioning of our whole society. I wish everyone could experience the challenge and the thrill of starting a business whether they are utlimately successful or not. Let's hear what Marke Levene, president of Lemniscate, Inc. has to say about his experience of working with me:

"...Your approach to business held a special appeal to us because of the values that we hold as a company. As a product developer and distributor in the specialty toy market we try to imbue our products with what we believe is important for the healthy development of the child, not just another expensive annoyance for the parents that thier children saw on tv. That coupled with your knowledge and experience in business development and marketing helped us get the money, the right money for us at that moment in time. We will likely top $4.0 mm in sales this year with improving profit margins. Your timely help at a critical moment made it possible for us to continue on to our success. I think we are succesful together because of our focus on delivering real value, economic and cultural, to real people."

Brian Gannon, president of Biogas Energy Systems, an alternative energy startup has this to say:

"...When I began the journey to found BES more than 2 years ago, I knew that it had potential to do well because of the changing scene in international energy markets. Our process of converting biomass into energy and compost seemed like a good idea for the time and could potentially help solve other problems faced by the world today. I came to you because I knew that you would appreciate the package of benefits that we could bring to market in all of its aspects but that you would help me nail down the hard details needed to get a launch. The timely capital infusion kept us going through a tough period and your role in helping us construct the financial models was a huge factor in helping us land our first $4.0 mm project. If that is successful the outlook is positive for sales of perhaps $100mm to $200mm per year for quite awhile. I look forward to our continuing work together."

Getting The Money Is The Result Of A Effective Process

OK, it's all well and good to talk about how launching and running a successfull business is about more than the money...but that's not why you came here. You came to get the money. I want to help you get it but I need your help to help you better. Sending you lists of lenders or teaching you about business and marketing plans will help...but not in a vacuum. I need to know more about you and what exactly you are seeking. With your help, we can build a community of experienced entrepreneurs like Kamal Dallal, Marke Levene and Brian Gannon, successful startup entrepreneurs and business owners and you. A community of successful business owners willing to share their stories and methods is invaluable and worth potentially much more than just a one time referral to a lender.
