Financing The Startup Dream

(NAPSA)—Manyentrepreneurial hopefuls don’t know that having difficulty securing financing— or enough financing—doesn’t have to mean the end of their startup dream. Starting their own business may be easier than manyrealize. In fact, there are a number of alternative financing options available today. What You Can Do One of the fastest-growing options is known as ROBS, or Rollovers as Business Startups. These let prospective business owners leverage their existing retirement assets to finance a business or purchase a franchise, free of tax penalties, all while protecting their personal credit. ROBS canalso be used with traditional financing options, such as SBA loans, to supplement or bridge a financing gap. It’s an increasingly popular idea: Guidant Financial has seen a 72-percent increase in its ROBS business since 2009 and has helped more than 8,500 startups secure the funding they needed over the past 10 years.
