Do you really think you’re going to get financing from a bank? Good luck with that! Instead in today’s world, crowdfunding has increasingly become the money raising vehicle of choice for many companies. In this podcast, Mike Brette – the CEO of Small Cap Equity Advisors – explains all the reasons why crowdfunding is a better bet over traditional bank financing if you really want to raise money successfully – especially if you’re just starting out or have a pre-revenue deal.
Listen to “Bank Financing And Crowdfunding” on Spreaker.
Do banks really care if your business succeeds or not? Hint: They don’t – they’re just mainly interested in whether or not you can pay back your loan. Crowdfunding, on the other hand, is a different story. Crowdfunding allows your customers to invest in a company they already love – yours! With all the credit checks, collateral required, loan committees, interest rate considerations, and all the other hassles involved with traditional bank loans, why even bother when you have crowdfunding as an option right at your fingertips, where you can structure an offering and reach out to investors on your own terms?
The key, as Mr. Brette mentions on the podcast, is the proper company valuation and understanding the entire process of raising money. Listen as he highlights a number of crowdfunding “musts” as well as some myths that many CEO’s and issuers fall prey to.
In addition, Mike explains why bank financing and venture capital are bad bets, the role of crowdfunding platforms and the one thing you must understand about them that will either make or break you, and why it’s crucial that you start marketing your deal for investor awareness BEFORE your offering is officially ready to go
Crowdfunding is not easy, but Reg.A, Reg.D, Reg.CF are all there for your benefit. You just have to take advantage of it. And remember: if you don’t try, you’ll never succeed! Get out there and put your deal in front of investors. Contact Mike Brette by phone at 951-236-8473 or by email here and get started with your raise today – the correct way!
