The best approach is to Acquire Business Capital At No Cost!
How to Raise Capital for a business or idea without payments?
Few people really know how or what to do to raise capital for their business ventures -- not loans, which have to be serviced and repaid, but genuine CAPITAL.
Read on so to get an idea about what you will need to know about acquiring not loans, but capital. And that, without monthly payments or putting up collateral in form of personal and/or company assets. Methods such as the ones listed below are proven, and have been used to insure funding for start-up and expanding businesses.
One of the best ways to obtain capital (or raise money) for a business is to sell private shares of stock in the corporation that owns and/or operates your business. People will invest in your business because they are looking to share in future profits.
You may wonder now why we are not mentioning here for you to go to a bank or the Small Business Administration. That's simple; it is not as easy to get a bank loan for a new or start-up business or an expanding business as you may think. In fact, it can be quite difficult, and often, close to downright impossible.
After preparing the proper documents, similar to the type of information that you will need for a stock offering, you may be told time and time again that your company does not have enough of an operating history or not enough assets. Then you may ask, what about the Small Business Administration? Well, as you may know, the government too is downsizing. And with ongoing operations in more than 130 countries; gigantic bailouts for banks, and more of the same coming; they have more important uses for whatever money they have than loaning it to small entrepremeurs. So the criteria for getting loans are getting more and more demanding, and it becomes harder and harder to get SBA backing as the amount of money that was once available is getting smaller and smaller year after years.
And one of the worst things about bank and SBA loans is that bankers don't come out and tell you about or remind you that loans are going to create an additional overhead. One your business is going to need to figure into the budget for the interest payments, and in most cases, principal payments that often start 30 days after you got the money. Interest payments can be quite costly and drastically affect your bottom line. Not to mention the small issue of losing everything you own if the business happens to fail. These concerns and costs are just a few that come with borrowing capital.
A rational and effective solution.
Raise money (capital) by issuing stock in your private company and in most cases only issue 10 to 35% of your company (depending on the amount of capital sought) so that you retain the majority of the shares and the control of your company. This can be done easily if you have the KNOWLEDGE. The best two things about stock offerings (which there are many) are NO LOAN PAYMENTS and NO RISK of your personal assets, such as your home, car etc. By selling and issuing stock in your corporation, it can be almost like having a license to print money. Each stock certificate represents money (capital) to your business.There are several distinct types of private (non-public) stock offerings, and we will go over them with you should you feel this is something of interest to you.
Contrary to popular belief, it has become easy to produce these private offerings and raise the money needed. Just like most other lengthy and detailed tasks, with the aid of the computer and the only software available for this purpose, the task becomes easy. Step by step instructions make it easy for anyone. The work is done for you with these software programs which run on just about any computer. Just add your company's business details and print.

The cost of any one of these software programs is usually under $500.00. You can't get a securities attorney to spend more than at best one hour of his/her time with you for that. With these programs, you not only have the experience of securities attorneys, but of corporate attorneys as well. Thousands of hours and many professionals were involved to produce these cost and time saving software programs.
And what's more important, if you raised capital on your own (even if you are am attorney yourself, but this is just not your specialty), with dozens of rules and regulations applying to your endeavor, you are bound to stumble on this or that, leaving you wide open to lawsuits. if anything ever arises between you and your investors. But if you prepare your offer the right way you will be protected in the most effective possible manner.
The peace of mind that comes with such knowledge is simply priceless.
