Best way to borrow money - venture capitalism?
I have a small business that would do a lot better if there was some capital. The problem is credit. I own all of my equipment and my building as well as an accounts receivable but banks do not care. So, the question is - how to find a reliable venture capitalist. Also, what is the best agreements for venture capitalism investments?
All I know is that I am a GREAT chiropractor as well as have a drug testing business that has the potential to go National but no financing.
Additional Details
I love the suggestion on business plan!!!
The point is not to go into debt.
I understand that one chiropractor has only so much capability but I am so below my capability due to inability to advertise. There are many secondary income centers that can be put in a Chiropractic office but require initial outlay of income to do so.
I appreciate the information on those who would like 51% interest in the company - too scary for me at this time. I have worked extremely hard to get where I am to lose my business on a technicality.

Sounds like it is not a problem with capital but with your marketing.

Remember what you give up! My husband works for a VC firm, mainly San Antonio area IT companies. They demand 51% ownership and have strict payback terms. Miss one payment (If you hit 60 day behind and the next payment is due) the business is theirs. And they do not negotiate it would ruin their stance with investors.

Do you actually want to get in debt? When you do that you don't own your business... your creditors do. The best way is to start out small, maybe in an extra room in your house...then when your business gets to big for your house, rent a small two room office so that you have a waiting room. Then keep on growing.

Space you appts. so that you have plenty of time in your house so that nobody has to wait more than a few moments...if you finish one person before another shows up then use that time for paper work or call anoter appt. and tell them you can take them now.

The reason so many fail at new businesses is that they go in financially over their head! Then they end up paying off their loans instead of themselves and soon they end up in bankruptcy...so sad.

You have what you need. I am not sure why you want a venture capitalist.

You said: "The problem is credit. I own all of my equipment and my building as well as an accounts receivable but banks do not care."

If you own the building, and need credit, take out a equity line of credit on it.

I like your enthusiasm. But you are in a very bad business. It is very difficult for Chiroplracting business to be financed. A chiroproctor can see only so many patients daily. You say you have a drug testing business. But is it well promoted. To get Venture Capital the First Thing You need is a Business Plan. Then you can start sending them to venture Capitalists with a cover letter.

You could make loan application to banks for SBA Protected Lons. You need to go to atleast three banks. If they give you you got what you want. If they send a no letter then you can go to SBA. They do not compete with Banks. That is why they need rejection letters from atleast three Banks. A good small business Loans Bank is CitiBank. But no body will give you any loan (including SBA if you can't convince them that you'll make enough money to pay the loan Back. So you need financial projections for about five years.

To find legitimate venture capitalists I have heard that people mostly tried networking, phone calls and targeted online searches for capitalists looking to invest in their industry.

You need to make sure your business is attractive to investors by reducing debt, showing a history of growth and steady revenue and profits. If you already own everything then you should be good in this regard unless you, like many healthcare companies, have problems collecting payments from patients and payers. In which case you should beef up your billing and collections dept.

The "best" type of capital agreement (really an investment in your business in the form of debt or stock) for you will depend on what your long term plans are with the business. If you just want some immediate money and then you want to take it from there on then debt like a note would probably be you best bet, You would then negotiate the terms, interest, principal etc based on your plans. Be careful about your plans and your business because many exceptional doctors turn out to be very poor business people and vice versa, of course. If you drug testing business is going to go national then you need to make sure that it has something unique or different to separate yourself from the competition. You may want to start with a small loan or debt in order to go regional before making the jump to national. If you keep things up then it should be easy to go from regional to national. Good luck.
