Where to Go When the Bank Says No: Alternatives for Financing Your Business
David R. Evanson, May 1998, Bloomberg Publications
Reviewed by the American Library Association
"With corporate mergers continuing unabated and with more and more
downsizing, the opportunities clearly lie in launching a new concept,
product, or company. But where do we get the start-up monies? Not from banks
or other debt-financing schemes, asserts writer-consultant Evanson. The
right approaches are angels, IPOs, alternatives to IPOs, and venture
capital. And not only does he outline the viewpoints of these lenders, but
he also prepares borrowers well for the reality: contacting and selling,
valuing a business, and writing a plan."
The Harvard Entrepreneurs Club Guide to Starting Your Own Business
By Poonam Sharma, March 1999, John Wiley & Sons
Highly recommended, if you're on the look-out for advice on entrepreneurship
and funding sources. The author is an undergraduate at Harvard. The book
was published last month, by the Harvard Entrepreneurs Club, and is unique,
in that it has contributions mostly from current Harvard undergraduates.
