In order to run your business, you're going to need MONEY!

My goal with this course is to help understand the various funding sources that you can plug into and be able to run your business like the well-oiled machine it's meant to be! During this short course, we will explore: Using your 401K/IRA to fund your business Getting equity or debt financing--think "Shark Tank" Using crowdfunding sites like IndieGoGo and Kickstarter Securing asset based loans Securing venture capital and angel investors There are pros and cons to each one and there's always a cost involved; however, when you know what works best for you and your business, it takes a lot of the work out of it! Let's get started!
