Your new business is off to a great start.
The first location is crushing it.
You need $150K to open your next location.
But here's the problem…
Most banks require 3 years of tax returns (which you don't have yet)
Do you sit tight for another 2 years?
What about asking friends & family?
Then you pause.
You don't want to ruin your relationships.
Here's what most people miss:
Raising money from private investors (aka friends and family) isn't a favor or handout when done right.
It's an investment opportunity you're offering them.
So what do you offer?
Debt, equity, profit sharing?
You want speed and flexibility without giving up control or putting unnecessary stress on the business.
The investors want a return that's worth the risk of investing into an illiquid "high risk" business like yours.
- What is a fair return on their capital?
- What are the repayment terms?
- What documents do you need?
- What is the collateral?
All great questions that you NEED to get right before you attempt to raise any money.
Most people screw this up by being too casual or too complicated.
The goal is to have clear written terms and proper expectations on both sides.
Over the next three weeks inside Cash Flow Club, I'm walking through each structure.
On Tuesday, we'll start with the private debt deal:
- The exact structure and terms I'd recommend
- The 3 documents you need (and where to get them)
- How to present it so they feel confident, not pressured
This is the easiest way to raise capital without giving up ownership.
