Private Investors Lending To Small Businesses

Ever since the mortgage industry melt-down, and the bank bail-out, I have been searching all over the country for Private Investors that are actually lending to Small Businesses. Prior to the "Great Recession" I successfully credit analyzed, packaged and closed over $50 million in SBA (Small Business Administration) funding for corporate clients, and over $20 million in unsecured lines of credit. As an entrepreneur I also raised over $9 million for my businesses. Then the banks stopped lending and everything came to a screeching halt. Now I am proud to announce that I have finally found Private Investors that are lending to small businesses!!


These are the People with the money and the expertise to Fund Businesses in Start-Up or Expansion Phases. These Private Investors will take Equity in your Business in exchange for Financing and Managerial Support. Funding Amounts range from $25,000 to $1 Million for Start-Ups, and can go up to $10 Million for Growth and Expansion.

If you have a Business or want to start a Business - This is your chance to do it regardless of your Personal Credit (It would be a mistake to ignore the value of having excellent personal and business credit when credit can be such a key to your long term success)-if your Business Model makes sense and you have the Drive and Determination - You can do it!

Hello Gary, I am looking to start a business in my area doing the same work that i have been doing for the past 11 years for other companies. I am just tired of working for someone else. I've worked for 2 companies in those 11 years
1 for 4.5 and the other for 6.5 yrs. I just turned 30 and want to do my own thing. Banks are not a good source of borrowing from right now as you know. So here I am looking for an investor. I want to be up front and say just looking for someone to be my bank and I will be glad to pay the money back over a few years at a reasonable interest rate. I work with well water pump and water treatment systems, which there are a lot of in CT. I am licensed to do the work and very eager to get my business going. I am seeking 75k-100k and plan to gross around 400k in my first year. I was the face of my last company for the past 2.5 years while running the work end of things for the past 1.5 yrs (by myself while the owner took on another job). Briefly, he was supposed to sell me the company and be my bank until he backed out 2 months before and then decided to leave the other job and come back. He came back because the other company was not doing well. In the past full year that I ran the company it grossed over 700k with only myself, an apprentice and a secretary. I am interested in any info, you can reach me at jmiller11aws@yahoo.com.
Thanks Jeff Miller

Gary, I have a company in my 6th yr. The recession set us back like most. I had decent credit before, but not so good now. I do pipelining. I can repair/replace pipes without digging or breaking concrete. It is new technology that I built this business on. 1st yr gross was 160k, and 4th yr was 705k. Took a hit in the recession because of peoples lack of confidence in new technologies but am rebounding well. Hugh growth potential, I burnt up my working capitol by not laying off employees until too late. Now that business is looking good again, I want to get them back and start growing. Banks won't help at all because I don't have perfect credit. I have a business plan. But I need help. Please advise. Bart.

Gary, Please disregard my last post. I looked at other forums and seen your advice and I get that everywhere already. Yes if I had perfect credit I could get a loan. But some of us don't think like you do. It isn't always about the money. I had very good credit up until Oct 08. When the BANKS screwed up. Now they have been bailed out and are doing better they totally forgot about us nobodies. Yes I got behind on some payments, (never missed them) just got behind. That and trying to borrow money to keep my business solvent through the tough times and getting NO help from the banks. Well I am still in business and would rather stay small or even go out of business than have to look another good employee in the face and tell him I can't afford him and put him out with his family to worry about. So yeah, you keep telling people to work hard and pay their bills on time and get good credit. While you fatten up the bank on us working slobs until you put us all out business. You can make mistakes and get bailed out like nothing happened, while us poor working slobs catch it at both ends and get left to die on our own. Well thanks for nothing, Sorry to bother you and sorry I even started reading this SCORE thing. I'm glad it gives people something to do. I feel it is a waste of time and don't intend to come back. I have not read one thing where anyone has gotten any help. Just a bunch of people trying to get money providing you and others a good laugh I'm sure.

Hello Bart, Recently a potential client told the following story: "I had my own company, a $5,000,000 Villa overlooking the Pacific Ocean, several rental properties and I drive a Rolls Royce. Due to the economy, I've lost everything. My properties are all gone to foreclosure, my company failed, I had to declare bankruptcy. The lease on my Rolls Royce is up in 60 days. My Fico score is 536 I can't qualify to get another car. Please help me." I was able to help this client! And it only took 60 days! However, during the process I did advise this client, as I do every entrepreneur, tough times are always just around the corner. We must plan for the unexpected by practicing sound financial planning now. And I certainly realize that sometimes things happen that are outside of our control. You need not let credit problems stop you from achieving your goals. I have helped thousands of entrepreneurs, just like the client that I mentioned, clean-up their credit reports, boost their credit scores, and successfully obtain the capital that they needed. My dear Grandma that raised me used to say "there is more than one way to skin a cat." I pride myself on having the tools to get the job done for my clients and myself. I'd love to help you!

Hello Gary, I agree with Bart and I also agree with you and will always respect what our grandmothers and grandfathers have told us in advice in life changes.

I have a really new and unique fashion / import-export situation and its really hard to get the small start up financing I need after taking the big fall! LOL! But I do believe in the big comeback and I believe that my fashion business will go global branded within 3 years so I would love to connect with you so that this can happen and we all have a win-win situation because if you succeed in helping AMIAT- All Moods In All Textiles go global then AMIAT succeeds!!!

The fashion- import-export business is still and always will be a billion dollar industry because we all have to wear clothes, not just labels from AMIAT but we can develop for other brands as well so we have a good spread.

I have a great business plan and ideas that are always fashion forward!

Check out my profile and site.

Have A Fashionable Day!

Hello Tamil, Recently I offered the members of my facebook group "Tips For Boosting Your Credit Score" an opportunity to meet with me in an up-to one hour Free telephone consultation to learn the secret to my success. And I'd like to extend that invitation to you. Specifically, I'll share how I used credit, and financial planning as an entrepreneur, to advance my life from growing up poor, and having an experience of living in public housing, to accomplishing the following: Received, from the Michigan State Lottery, 100% of working capital needed to perform on design, marketing, and fulfillment contracts for the Michigan State Lottery; Using only $9,000
of my own money, closed a leverage buy-out of an electrical engineering business completing over $12 million a year in contracts with Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors; After the split-up of ATT, invested $15,000 to start a telephone company, created a joint venture with the only African-American owned facilities-based telephone company in America, and provided telephone service for the Department Of Defense, the White House, and Camp David. During our meeting I'll share more accomplishments. Space won't allow it here.

Please contact me to arrange an appointment.

See You At The Top!

I provide services that make an entrepreneur "Bank or Investor-ready." I have dealt with many lenders, angel investors, venture capital investors, and I have seen many deals fund for my clients as well as for my businesses. My experience can lend insight into the needs and limitations of lending institutions, angel investors, and venture capital investors.

New entrepreneurs often don't realize that banks differ in lending preferences, and angel investors as well as venture capital investors differ in investing preferences. Some won't fund restaurants, others won't fund gift shops. So many times, people's request for funding is
rejected due to simply not realizing that lenders and investors work in market niches.
Although being "Bank or Investor-ready" is extremely important; submitting your request for funding to banks or investors that have an appetite for your market niche can often be the difference between funding and a denial. Once prepared, these entrepreneurs are introduced to the appropriate active banks, investors, and other funding sources across the United States.
My service is tailored to the goals and needs of my client. Call or email to arrange an up-to one hour FREE consultation.

Dear Gary, as experienced entrepreneur. you could be interesting in developing of an artificial reasonable systems. This is impossible. Instead, it is possible to develop an artificial subjective control unit, which in combination with a hardware will form a system capable to demonstrate a reasonable behavior.
AI is not science at all, and the basis for research and development in that field is illusory.
I am inventor. and I was able to solve the problem of understanding how our behavior is determined and how to approach to design of an artificial system capable to do the same.
It is possible, on the basis of my understanding, to have a working system in 5-7 years.
For example, an investment 200 mil. in R&D of a Robo Care Giver, as a basis for production, will be paid back in 5 years if we will be able to produce it, and lend them for 5000 per month. ($5000 x 1000 systems x 12 month x 5 years= 300 mil. We will need approximately double of that number (2100), If we are assuming that systems will be added by 100 per month.)
Contact me at szeldich@netzero.net, please.
Best regards, Michael
