The world of high finance is utterly complicated, to say the least as documented very well by most economists. It would seem “all the more so” if you are a small business owner who is looking forward to make it big..! Whether you are located in New York, Bangkok or in Wellington, you are ripe to become the next victim of the “global financial meltdown” if you are not already one. So, the question is how would you ensure your survival? This would raise more than an eyebrow about your quality of living, your family’s well-being and many more aspects if you are already short on greenbacks? There are numerous answers to this question.

 

Essentially it is a matter of choice – get into another business that may suffer the same fate, opt for an online business that can take you places or take a nosedive and cut down your lifestyle and get under the poverty line…? The saner option seems to be to opt for an alternate source of income that can come from an online business. After all, an online business involves lesser startup costs and gives you the independence of working your own times in addition to giving you an exposure to a global audience.

You have a good website, you are focused on your product, you work hard at the business and yet your website is not delivering the expected… What went wrong?

Mike Carlson (name changed) had a website that was perfectly in all aspects- it was running well, looked good and it was even on page one for some keywords. Yet he was getting practically no traffic and his conversions were abysmal.

Mike is no exception. There are plenty of entrepreneurs with online businesses who are unsuccessful in attracting traffic.

Mike just failed to plan well.

What Mike planned was that “I will sell this product, target this keyword and have an online shopping cart for 24 hour accessibility”

Mike failed to plan a strategy. He did not plan how to achieve his targets. He just planned what he wanted to do.

“Failing to plan is planning to fail”,you’ve heard this before. This is particularly true for businesses and no prizes for guessing; this applies to online business too. If you have decided to do business online and you have no plan, you are doomed to fail. Online business plans must be focused on all business activities which will lead you to your goal, help you to reallocate your resources to optimum use, analyze and make corrections & adjustments to get back on track if you ever deviate from your goals.

The global financial crisis has made it quite difficult for companies, especially small businesses, to get business loans. Ironically, it is also in this situation that smaller companies often need additional capital infusion to boost income. You may need to get small business loans to acquire a better business location, construct a new building, renovate your premises, pay for new equipment, fixtures or furniture or increase inventory and working capital.

Most Small Business Loans Require Collateral

To get business loans, even small business loans, is a major challenge.

First you need to identify which among the many types of small business loans you need. Small business loans ranging from ,000.00 to ,000.00 are called micro loans. For larger needs, such as for the acquisition of land, buildings and other major fixed assets, development financing is what you should find. There are also import export loans as well as franchise financing. Do your research to find out if you are qualified for small business loans guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration or SBA.

Any of these small business loans will require extensive preparations and paperwork. As a small business owner, you will need to prove your credit worthiness through a personal credit history report. Lenders will also require a business plan which includes your credentials as the business owner, your company financial statements, business assets and an analysis of your market. All of these should be packaged in a professional loan proposal which presents how the loaned amount will be used to strengthen the business and how you intend to repay the loan. Most of all, you need to present your loan collateral – the assets you will put up to secure the loan.    Read more...
