Creative Financing

Amazing, I read down the list and saw many of the techniques I have used over the years and currently.
Some, or most, probably came from reading your tips over the years. Good work and very helpful to those of us who follow you. I currently have investors interested in our technology company and asking for financial performance history. You have given me a well-defined yellow brick road to follow. Thanks!

Ted Knows More Than Me. There, I Said It

I’ve been a small business owner for 25 years, with the last 15 being immersed in the “sell a small business” space.  It’s been a passion and a discipline for me, and I know I’ve learned a lot.

I was just reminded how much more I have to learn.

I started reading the section called Starting, Buying or Selling a Business in Ted Leverette’s book How to Get All the Money You Want For Your Business Without Stealing It.

In a few short minutes I read insights that I know would have saved deals that I saw die in the past. At Exit Oasis we stress that small business owners need to Learn to Leave. Ted’s book can help you do that. Real world items, clearly explained, that provide direct value.

I hope all is well and thank you for all the information that you offer. I purchased two of your books (How to Buy the Right Business the Right Way and How to Get All the Money You Want For Your Business Without Stealing It) when I started buying business and was looking for more information. It gave me more insight into where I could find a higher number of possible businesses to purchase and how to get the funds to do so. At least once a quarter I read through the points that I highlighted as reminders of what to do and warnings of what to look out for. It definitely helped in giving me more confidence to get more deals done. I look forward to your next book you put out.

REALITY

82% of businesses failed because they experienced cash flow problems;

77% of small business owners who apply for a bank loan from a big bank get rejected . . .

. . . according to a recent article on fundera.com: What Percentage of Small Businesses Fail? And Other Similar Stats You Need to Know.

You could rob a bank or read this creative financing book.

It explains 500 proven ways to get cash for a business you own or want to buy.

The “Internal Financing” section has more than 100 business cash flow improvement projects, many of which are quick and easy to implement – and each one adds cash to the bottom line.

Business brokers, buyers and sellers say the ideas in the book enabled them to close the purchase/sale of a business or franchise, which would not have occurred if not for this book.

In business you either use your money or other people’s money. This one-of-a-kind, highly regarded book is necessary, not discretionary.
