Excerpt Foreword The current economic climate has opened up windows of opportunities unlike anything we have ever seen. Conventional lenders are not lending; those that are, their criteria are so stringent that few businesses can qualify. Options abound for those who can think creatively. Without this many businesses will cease to exist. For the small business owner, their survival will depend on their ability to access alternative financing. When the bank says “NO” to your request for financing, you must consider other options. There are two ways we learn in life: (1) The School of Hard Knocks (2) Learn From the Experts Karlene Sinclair-Robinson has had both. Her venture into the world of business following the birth of our children has left an indelible mark. She quickly realized the way to being a successful business owner is quite different in the real world versus theory. Karlene associates with well-known financial sources and successful business owners who have interest in real estate investing, hard money lending, business financing, and much more. In her years of assisting small business owners with financing, she discovered the many drawbacks affecting them. This book was written to help you explore some of the available options to finance your business. It is a valuable resource to the small business owner looking for capital to start their own business, keep their business going, or for expansion. Horace L. Robinson Spouse and partner
