It’s a reality in the USA that though new and small business accounts for 80% or more of our countries growth, Start–Up Capital Is Hard to Find. Perhaps one day our elected leaders will see how important it is to invest in start–ups in America and make it easy to obtain capital but until that happens (and gas prices drop to fifty cents, for that matter) you have to consider your limited alternatives. This is where leasing can help.
Don’t let any other website or individual fool you into thinking there is a quick fix – there is not – and working with the Small Business Administration (SBA), though in concept a wonderful idea, will involve a tedious journey of voluminous proportions. With that said, a SBA loan is an option and for large dollar needs, we can help you with that as well. We may roll our eyes and kick a chair or two, but LeaseSource knows how to cut through most of the tall grass and get an SBA done quicker and more painlessly than most.
Another alternative to gaining the capital you need is finding what is known as an “Angel Investor” or “Venture Capital”. This option will provide the money you need, but you must be prepared to give up a sizeable chunk of ownership in your company. What is ownership in your company worth over time? I can tell you: It’s priceless.
The only other option is Start–Up Equipment Leasing. Most leasing companies will politely (and some not so politely) thank you for your call and then quickly hang up the phone. I’ve actually heard one representative say, they are looking for money for a new business, and then with a laugh good luck buster. It’s not that the nay–sayers are completely inept (well, not all of them at least). It is more that they do not have the entrepreneurial spirit that you obviously share with millions of other American’s that dream about starting their own business. The difference between you and the mass is that you have stepped out to make a go of it. Start–Up Equipment Leasing is a tool to help you get going. It will take some work, but it can definitely be done. Simply read through our proposal process on this page and see where your business will fit.
