SMALL BUSINESS FINANCING: How and Where to Get It, Second Edition

Edited by Alice H. Magos and the CCH Consumer Media Group

224 pages -- 7" x 10"

Small Business Financing: How and Where To Get It, now in its Second Edition, thoroughly but simply discusses each source of public and private debt and equity capital -- from bootstrapping and IPOs to commercial loans and SBA-guaranteed programs, and everything in between.

This easy-to-understand guide to raising money to start or grow a small business is another in the series of useful books drawn from the award-winning, online CCH Business Owner’s Toolkit™ (www.toolkit.cch.com).

This book covers methods for:

  • Determining how much capital is needed
  • Strategies for selecting a business form
  • Planning successful applications or presentations
  • Choosing an appropriate source and type of financing

    Sample forms are integrated into the text to facilitate learning the details and data-gathering skills needed for the financing process. A handy glossary is also included to take the mystery out of dealing with bankers and other financial experts.
