Finding money to start, buy, or expand a business is never easy. A lot of information is available on how to write business plans and/or run a business, but very little is available for those who need to raise financing for business purposes. The good news is that money is available for those who know where to look, and it is not just from friends and family. There are numerous sources of funding for small and medium size businesses if one knows where to look and, most importantly, if there is a viable and/or profitable business involved. Our goal in compiling this guide is to create a handy, portable and up-to-date resource pool for the busy entrepreneur or business owner in search of money.
