Tips for Landing Start Up Loans in New York

There are thousands of small business owners in New York.  There are also thousands of entrepreneurs in the five boroughs who are aspiring to become small business owners.  While many companies tend to do well due to the variety of cultures and huge market base, especially in New York City, this also means that competition is fierce.  The following tips are useful in getting loans for early stage business anywhere, but can be especially useful in areas where there is more competition.

Do Your Research

 When trying to get start up loans in New York, you have to convince lenders that your business will be successful.  The only way to do this is to test the market to see how it will go over if brought to fruition.  This will mean market testing, sampling, and other ways of proving that the demand is present for the product or service the proposed business will offer.  If you are not sure about doing this on your own, there are plenty of companies out there that offer these services for a fee.  The price would be small to pay if the result is the funding you need to start your business.

Educate Yourself

 If you have experience in the field or business education or experience in general, be certain to highlight that with your lender.  If you do not, show them your plan to learn or that you have someone with more expertise on board to help.  They need to know not only that the business is legitimate and viable, but that the borrower is as well.

 Be Professional

Go to the lender prepared.  Dress professionally, have a professional presentation that includes a professional business plan, and be ready for the questions they may ask.  Lenders respond well to confidence, but not arrogance.  Be honest about what you do know, what your weaknesses are, and how you plan to compensate for each.  If you know you are not good at keeping books, tell them you plan to hire an accountant and include that line item in the budget.

 Financing can be a challenge for any entrepreneur, but some areas are more competitive than others. Fortunately, the

Financial discipline grows 5 years after crisis

BOSTON (AP) — The frugality and investing discipline that the 2008 financial crisis imposed on Americans appear to have led to permanent changes in behavior on money matters, according to a survey by the nation’s second largest mutual fund company.

Spendthrift ways are unlikely to again become as pervasive as they were before the crisis, Fidelity Investments concluded Wednesday in releasing results of its “Five Years After” survey of nearly 1,200 investors.

Positive behaviors that appear to be now entrenched include saving more in 401(k) plans, paying down debt and taking greater care to invest wisely.

“These tend to be very sticky decisions, because you begin to budget and spend around a higher savings rate,” said John Sweeney, an executive vice president on retirement and investing with Boston-based Fidelity.

Patent Trials In India: Why Multinational Drug Companies Need To Adopt Tailor-Made Business Model For Emerging Economies

Big pharmaceutical corporations are crying foul over the Indian Supreme Court’s recent decision to deny patent rights to Swiss pharma major Novartis AG (NYSE:NVS) for its updated cancer drug Glivec, but the inventor of the life-saving drug apparently is in favor of the court’s ruling. Experts, on the other hand, opine that the verdict has underscored the need for tailor-made business models for the emerging economies. 

Reuters Swiss drugmaker Novartis had argued that it needed a new patent to protect its investment in the cancer drug Glivec, while activists said the company was trying to use loopholes to make more money with a drug with an expired patent.

However, the health activists and a few scientists – including the developer of Glivec – point out that the argument of the big pharma corporations that denying patents will prevent investments in future research does not hold water, at least in the case of Glivec. 

Since Glivec celebrated as a magic drug for leukemia was jointly developed by Dr Brian Druker, director of the Oregon Health and Science University Knight Cancer Institute, a public funded institution, in collaboration with Nicholas Lydon, a former researcher with Novartis. This emphasizes the

Content marketers: let’s bring back those nasty barriers

For the first time, someone with zero resources could reach an audience of billions and change the world. 

But every sliver lining has its cloud and content marketers are experiencing the unintended consequences of a barrier-less world…

The internet changes everything by removing some major obstacles that governed the world of communication

You know these so I’ll be quick:

1.  It removed the barriers to content creation and distribution

It used to cost a lot of money to reach a lot of people. You needed a printing press. Or a radio station. Or a TV network.

Only a very few people could afford these things, so only a very few people benefited from the power of mass communication.

2. It did away with the ‘gatekeepers’ who control public discourse.

When time on a printing press or in a TV studio was a uniquely precious commodity, we needed people that could decide which voices merited access. T
