    Many companies and individuals seeking loans from banks or private lenders do not meet the rigid qualifications imposed by lenders. They might try asking family and friends for a loan, but that often proves difficult if not impossible because more often than not liquidable collateral (easy to liquidate in the event of breach) is required. As a result they are forced to seek funding elsewhere.

    The purpose of this course is to introduce you to the world of equity financing. Companies, big, small, established, start-ups and would-be-entrepreneurs from all over the world raise money via this method. This is an area in which you can raise enormous amounts of money, often within weeks, even though your company has failed, you are a startup, and/or you have no credit.

    Equity financing involves the offer and sale of a portion of one’s company to investors through what are known as securities or stocks in the case of a corporation. The investors then trade (buy and sell) these securities in what is known as the secondary or aftermarket. This course is devoted to the raising of money by companies, which in turn, trickles down to you personally via salary, dividends, bonuses, etc.

    This course shows you:

    • What you have to do in order to comply with the law before, during and after raising money.
    • The different choices you have through which to raise money.
    • How to go about raising money using one of those choices.

Requirements

  • Basic knowledge of entrepreneurship or an idea to form/start a new business
