Let's take a little break from your promotional activities and
talk about the subject of financing. Financing an e-business and
the related working capital is often overlooked by many
entrepreneurs,but it's the oil that greases the wheels on which
your total business runs.
It's no surprise that many individuals seeking personal loans to
start a business or for personal needs sometimes have trouble
getting such financing. And for a reason. They often overlook
one great source of personal loans - namely Private Lenders.
That's exactly what I'm going to talk to you about in this
article.
So just what is a Private Lender? Here's a simple answer:
- Any individual or group of individuals who use the excess
funds they have available to make a wide variety of loans based
upon their own preferences.
- They could be doctors, lawyers, accountants, wall street
investors, and other professionals who invest extra funds to
generate income by financing ventures of their choice.
- They lend on deals they like because the loan proposal appeals
to them. Or, they like the expertise or experience of the
individual involved. To them, credit and related issues as
required by traditional lenders are not of paramount importance.
- These folks do their lending for a second income, instead of a
primary income. Lending is not their main source of income.
Usually they generate their main source of income from their
jobs or businesses they own.
- They're NOT banks, and do not ever seek or accept deposits
from anyone. They are neither a credit union or a mortgage
company. Instead, they are regular people with tons of money who
simply seek out good deals to lend on. Therefore, they do not
have to obey the local banking rules.
What kinds of loans might you get from private lenders? As
indicated above, private lenders provide funding for a wide
variety of lending situations so long as the total package makes
good economic sense.
One type of financing private lenders provide is personal loans.
Personal loans may include auto loans,real estate purchase,
education, medical, acquisition of a business, debt
consolidation, vacation, furniture, starting or expanding an e-
business, etc.
The next question is: how can you get a personal loan from
private lenders? There are two primary methods. The one I will
discuss here involves three simple easy steps:
1. You locate a private lender who makes the type of personal
loans you need.
2. When you locate your private lender; ask for details of their
loans or 'lending parameters'.
3. Complete the paperwork following the guidelines of the
particular private lender. Be sure you type the document and
send them in to your lender for approval. That's it!
A word of CAUTION here. You may be tempted to pay upfront fees
to these lenders in order to obtain the loan. DON'T! Never, ever
pay any upfront fees to any lender until your loan is in your
pocket.
The final question is: where do you find these private lenders?
Look for them in the 'Money Available' pages of your local
large-city newspaper, particularly the Sunday issues, in
magazines serving your business, in trade group publications,
and in other special journals.
There are also firms that have been publishing the names and
addresses of private lenders and investors in specialized
publications over the past twenty years. You can search them out
in your local or business public library. You should breeze
through this process now that you know how and where.
