The event is for any entrepreneur, small business owner or corporate executive that could benefit from a cash influx or capital reserves to help maintain or grow their business.
Aliso Viejo, CA (PRWEB) October 14, 2006 -- According to the U.S. Small Business Association (SBA), the number one reason up to 95% of businesses in the U.S. shut their doors within the first five years is inadequate capital, or not enough money to see their business through its various startup and growth stages. Stephen Burgess, a renowned business strategist, consultant, venture capitalist, and #1 best selling author is addressing this problem head-on by hosting his intensive half-day seminar ’20 Ways to Find Funding For Your Business’, held for the first time in the Orange County, CA area on October 19, 2006 at the Ayres Hotel in Costa Mesa, CA.
“This event is for any entrepreneur, small business owner or corporate executive that could benefit from a cash influx or capital reserves to help maintain or grow their business,” said Stephen Burgess, CEO of Corporate Toolbelt, his own strategic business planning firm. “I find that the vast majority of entrepreneurs and business owners I speak with rely on self-funding, and simply don’t realize the variety of viable options available to them today at all levels of business -- whether you’re a start-up concern or a corporation expanding internationally. ’20 Ways To Find Funding For Your Business’ provides a solid overview of the options available to today’s business owner, from traditional venture capital or investing to small business loans to credit and creative financing options.”
