19. MARSHALLING THE RESOURCES

funding, the money offered by angel investors, equipment,
merchandise and the knowledge and experience of
principles of the company.
An entrepreneurial resource is an asset used in the launch
of a new business.

used by the business. These could include money,
equipment or property. In order for them to qualify as
entrepreneurial resources, they must be instrumental in
the development of the venture.
Intangible entrepreneurial resources are not easily
quantified, but they are often just as beneficial as the
tangible resources. If a business owner possesses a
large public platform, such as a blog, or if he has an
extensive network of contacts in the industry, these could
be considered significant entrepreneurial resources.

21. Sources of start-up financing
Putting all your eggs in one basket is never a good
business strategy. This is especially true when it comes to
financing your new business.
Keep in mind that bankers don't see themselves as your
sole source of funds. And showing that you've sought or
used various financing alternatives demonstrates to
lenders that you're a proactive entrepreneur.
Whether you opt for a bank loan, an angel investor, a
government grant or a business incubator, each of these
sources of financing has specific advantages and
disadvantages as well as criteria they will use to evaluate
your business.
Ravindra_pujari@yahoo.com

ready to take risks.

Cell 9303239020
24. Venture capital
The first thing to keep in mind is that venture capital is not
necessarily for all entrepreneurs. Right from the start, you
should be aware that venture capitalists are looking for
technology-driven businesses and companies with high-
growth potential in sectors such as information technology,
communications and biotechnology.
Venture capitalists take an equity position in the company
to help it carry out a promising but higher risk project. This
involves giving up some ownership or equity in your
business to an external party. Venture capitalists also
expect a healthy return on their investment, often
generated when the business starts selling shares to the
public. Be sure to look for investors who bring relevant
experience and knowledge to your business.

25. Angels
Angels are generally wealthy individuals or retired
company executives who invest directly in small firms
owned by others. They are often leaders in their own
field who not only contribute their experience and
network of contacts but also their technical and/or
management knowledge. Angels tend to finance the
early stages of the business .
In exchange for risking their money, they reserve the
right to supervise the company's management practices.
In concrete terms, this often involves a seat on the
board of directors and an assurance of transparency.
Angels tend to keep a low profile.

26. Business incubators
Business incubators (or "accelerators") generally focus on
the high-tech sector by providing support for new
businesses in various stages of development. However,
there are also local economic development incubators,
which are focused on areas such as job creation,
revitalization and hosting and sharing services.
Commonly, incubators will invite future businesses and
other fledgling companies to share their premises, as well
as their administrative, logistical and technical resources.
For example, an incubator might share the use of its
laboratories so that a new business can develop and test
its products more cheaply before beginning production.
Ravindra_pujari@yahoo.com
Cell 9303239020
27. Generally, the incubation phase can last up to two
years. Once the product is ready, the business usually
leaves the incubator's premises to enter its industrial
production phase and is on its own.
Businesses that receive this kind of support often
operate within state-of-the-art sectors such as
biotechnology, information technology, multimedia, or
industrial technology.

28. Bank loans
Bank loans are the most commonly used source of funding
for small and medium-sized businesses. Consider the fact
that all banks offer different advantages, whether it's
personalized service or customized repayment.
In general, you should know bankers are looking for
companies with a sound track record and that have excellent
credit. A good idea is not enough; it has to be backed up
with a solid business plan. Start-up loans will also typically
require a personal guarantee from the entrepreneurs.

the principal payments for up to 12 months.

subsidies that may be available to your business. The
Canada Business Network website provides a
comprehensive listing of various government programs at
the federal and provincial level.
Criteria
Getting grants can be tough. There may be strong
competition and the criteria for awards are often stringent.
Generally, most grants require you to match the funds you
are being given and this amount varies greatly, depending
on the granter. For example, a research grant may require
you to find only 40% of the total cost.
Ravindra_pujari@yahoo.com
Cell 9303239020
