For this week’s post, I have researched a few websites that
are available for people to obtain financial funding. As an entrepreneur
looking to launch my business in the next couple of months, I will be searching
for investors to assist in the funding for the start up of Big Bax Productions,
LLC.
The first site I
visited was http://www.microenterpriseworks.org/
and I found some very useful information. This site is run by AEO (Association
for Enterprise Opportunity). AEO is an
organization that supports entrepreneurs in starting and maintaining their
business. One thing I liked about this site is that it gives its members an
opportunity for secure a mentor that will assist them in starting their business
the right way. Personally, I think that is a great feature to ensure that
people know exactly what they are getting into and become aware of the steps
they need to take to progress in their industry. To become a member is very easy, all you need to do is specify your type of
organization and complete your standard information
where it asks you. Great website in my opinion for entrepreneurs.
The second site I visited was
http://www.cdvca.org/. The CDVCA (Community
Development Venture Capital Alliance) is network for people in the field of
community venture capital investing (CDVC).
They specialize in funding companies that are in underinvested markets
and companies in search of market-rate financial returns. Each CDVC fund has its own unique criteria
and process one must undergo to receive funding. They do allow you to submit
business plans online. This site is a good site for low-income entrepreneurs to
receive financial assistance to make their business idea come to life. One thing I noticed about CDVC funding that I did
not know before was that they really look for companies that will benefit the
community as far creating jobs.
Be sure to check out these
sites if you are looking for funding for your business!!!
