MenuI am a Financial Planner and would like to increase my portfolio with business loan. I want to know what reliable offers are there available.
If I client needs business loan, what are the best options if they have good and steady income, but let's say no good credit and in the business for long years with established, growing business. Any suggestion?
Answers
You could offer to consult with them to help them improve their credit rating which will increase their ability to get loans at better prices.
Depending on the nature of the business, factoring may be an option.
If your client has a FICO below 700, lending can be more challenging. SBA and Conventional Loans may not be easy to get. If you want to pursue this option, you will want to work with a business loan broker to help spread your risk and be more efficient. If this option is not fruitful, alternatives include the following:
1. Portfolio loan/Margin loan off of non-retirement brokerage funds. FICO is not relevant for these loans. I know of an option that allows a client to take between 65% to 85% of the funds they have in the market. The amount and rate are dependent on the risk of the portfolio.
2. Rollover for Business Startup Program: You can use qualified retirement funds tax and penalty free and invest this into a private business. This 46 year old program was blessed by the IRS and does not care about FICO credit either.
3. Peer-to-Peer lending groups or private loans.
4. Commercial Capital Training Group: Alternative financing options here to include Money Factoring, Hedge Fund Loans, and other Specialty and Alternative Funding options.

What would be a good answer for describing the size of your company to a potential prospect who might consider you too small to service their account?
What an awesome question! Businesses are running into this issue more frequently that ever, good news is, it can be done. Having worked on projects with oDesk, Fox Television and Wikipedia and having a very very small staff, it's certainly possible. Here's how I say it in our pitches to larger organizations: "Tractive West provides tailored video production services to organizations of all sizes. We have developed a distributed workflow using the latest digital tools. We leverage our small creative and management team with a world wide network of creative professionals, that means we can rapidly scale to meet the demands of any project while keeping our infrastructure and overhead lightweight and sustainable." Cheers and best of luck.SM

As an accounting graduate with no money and no connections, how do I start my own consulting firm? And how do I get clIents?
STOP. DO NOT DO THIS.... I would never want help from someone like you. Don't get me wrong -- you aren't evil (that I know about) but you don't seem have any value that I could pay for. What would you be "consulting" a CEO like me about? How do you expect to make my business better when you don't have a clue about your own business? THAT'S THE TRUTH... Fuck the truth. If you want to get clients then you hustle -- every waking moment. You try an angle and fail and then try a different angle. You can't outsmart your way to bigger results. 2 plus 2 does not equal 4 -- it equals you going bankrupt. If you want to be successful then you need to exert massive amounts of effort to get off the ground. So get your ass out there and start asking everyone you meet: "What is that one big accounting question that's been bothering you for some time now? If I can't help you i'll buy you a cup of coffee" Then just go be a badass...DW

What's the best way to approach a Fortune 500 company regarding a business development opportunity? What people, process, tips do you recommend?
The best thing to do to start any kind of sales or relationship building process with a Fortune 500 company is to recruit willing champions of you and your company. The good thing about Fortune 500 companies is that there are *lots* of people who you can potentially recruit. Many of them are active on Twitter and LinkedIn. I've successfully sold to Fortune 500 companies this way and I'd be happy to share relevant tips with you.TW

When recording income for a marketplace startup, is it typical to use the gross transaction or just the fees collected per payment?
You would include all those lines in your revenue. Typically this looks like: Receipts: [full cash inflows] Fees: [payouts to vendors] Gross Receipts: [subtract] This ALL does into the Revenue category, so that your stated revenue is indeed net of fees, but you can see how it breaks out to understand how money is moving. That's if the margin there is very slim. If the margin is pretty good, and if you believe you can increase that margin materially over time, you can consider putting those fees into your gross margin instead of in your income.JC
