Be careful with all of this advice. The most problems I see with small business owners is finance related. Focus on exploring all avenues of funding your business first.

To start to determine your financing needs, prepare answers to the following questions.

· What types, terms, timing, and tradeoffs are acceptable? (You'll need a capital acquisition strategy to determine this.) Perhaps angel investors are most appropriate. If so, you'll get the money in faster if you focus on a small bridge loan that will convert to equity later. Be sure to offer warrant coverage or a premium on conversion to make investing now compelling.

· Have you prepared for your financing round? Do you have a concise and compelling pitch and list of appropriate targets?

· Do you have your legal act together? You may want a sample term sheet, shareholder or loan agreements, and a confidentiality and proprietary inventions agreement.

· Do you know the dos and don'ts of fundraising?

· Have you prepared a due diligence package? This process will be remarkably fast if you prepare in advance.

· Have you mapped out the long-term effects of dilution? How will you be reporting to your investors, lenders, and board of directors? How will you manage your board of directors?

If you can be prepared with the answers to these questions before you begin your financing journey, your process will go much faster - and be much more likely to succeed.
