SBA Loans –

Small Business Administration (SBA) is a federal government agency that encourages entrepreneurs to start their own business. There are basically two types of commercial loan you can find under the SBA, 1) Direct loan and 2) Guaranteed small business loan.

 

• Direct Loan – Here, SBA provides loan directly to the business or the individual. But such type loan is usually intended for those who are economically affected by certain disaster. If you think you are eligible for this kind of loan, you can apply for it anytime then.

• Guaranteed Loan – Here, all the loans are made under the guarantee program. Before you request for a loan for your business plan, you have to be careful that you have done all the paper work that is required for a Guaranteed Loan. Note that - (if you do not know already) SBA loan guarantee is not a loan but is a promise made by the SBA to the private lenders and primarily commercial banks to sanction the loan.

 

Selling your products –

When it comes to fund raise, product selling is often-overlooked. According to many financial experts this is the most profound way of raising the business fund for taking it to the new high and giving it a lot more exposures in the market.

 

Friend and Families –

Family and friends can be another alternative choice to finance your small business. If you have an aunt who is rich and has a lot of money to throw around, then you can always borrow from them and can take some obvious advantages by avoiding rate of interest, paying-off-time-limits etc.

 

Home equity loans –

A home equity loan is something that you can have commercial loan by offering your house as collateral. This is one of the great options available for financing small businesses, because the interest rate of the loan is not only very flexible but is lower than the commercial loan rates as well.
