How to Fund Your Startup Business or How to Fund Your Business Growth | The 15 Super Moves – Part 2
Audio Transcription
WARNING: Today’s radio show is not for you if you are not 100% committed to your business and it’s eventual success. During today’s broadcast of The Thrive Time Business Coach Radio Show, Clay Clark and Doctor Zoellner break down the 15 proven super moves to fund your startup or growth.
SUPER MOVE #7 – Connect with Your Local Banks [ 3:45 ]
Make your business bank-friendly by bringing consistency to your expenses, locking in long-term contracts with key customers, improving your margins, creating an accurate and up-to-date profit and loss statement, and creating an accurate and up-to-date balance sheet. Get your credit score up over 750 and gather at least five references from key customers. We’ll talk more about this in a minute.
SUPER MOVE #8 – Trade Out with Vendors and Suppliers [ 8:23 ]
Rack your brain and look for vendors that would be willing to trade out services or products instead of cash so that you can save more money and have more capital available to invest in STRATEGIC EXPENSES.
SUPER MOVE #9 – Vendors [ 10:55 ]
Talk to your key vendors who make more when you make more and strategically and discreetly share with them your expansion plans. You wouldn’t believe how many people are actually interested in funding the growth of a company that will then cause their business to grow as a result of their investment. Many of these people see you work every day and they understand the value you bring to the marketplace. These people are your fans.
SUPER MOVE #10 – Credit Lines [ 12:25 ]
I will openly and honestly say that credit lines scare me TREMENDOUSLY because they are very, very fickle. I would compare operating your business using a credit line with having your house wired directly into a nuclear reactor because you like the energy efficiency. Sure, it’s awesome having access to unlimited cheap energy, but if that baby has a leak, you are going to wish you lived in a log cabin and had to chop wood every day to heat your house.
Essentially, a bank can have a board meeting to discuss liquidity issues they are having (not having enough cash on hand) and your business can come up in the discussion. The bankers can openly discuss the best way to get the most cash into the bank as soon as possible to meet regulatory compliance and the suggestion to call your credit line due can be suggested and approved in minutes then BOOM! You will get a letter from your banker telling you that you must pay off your credit line in full right away or the bank has the right to repossess any of your assets that were put up as collateral to get the loan in the first place. This means that your business can be motoring along making a nice profit and then BOOM, it’s over. You must come up with the entire amount of your credit line immediately or the bank will start taking your stuff. This is insane to me.
Many business owners say that credit lines have proven to be a great resource of the cash they need to fund their daily operations, but they are literally one decision and one call away from losing it all. If your business is too reliant upon short-term credit lines to fund operations, you need to focus on really increasing the quality of the relationship with your banker now. You need to consistently and accurately communicate with your banker and you had better have a great relationship with God. Because you are going to need divine intervention when that bank calls your credit line due all at once. Make sure that you never bounce a check and that you have a backup plan in place in case that bank decides to immediately reduce or close your credit line.
SUPER MOVE #11 – 3% Automatic Savings and Capital Reserve Funding [ 28:25 ]
With my photography company, we take 3% of all sales revenue and put it into a reserve bank account. We have set this up to happen automatically so that it is never an emotional decision to save or not save. This is not even something we discuss. We just do it. Because we made the decision one time to automatically save 3% of our gross revenue into a capital reserve fund, we have effectively decided to never have an emergency again. We are never in a cash crunch when bad things happen or when we need to fund our growth.
BONUS KNOWLEDGE:
- 1st Samuel 15:3 – “Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”
- Proverbs 10:4 – “Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.”
- Proverbs 13:11 – “Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.”
SUPER MOVE #12 – Reduce the Time Involved in Your Sales Cycle [ 33:40 ]
Systemically reducing the amount of time involved in your average sales cycle will help you tremendously for almost countless reasons. The momentum in your office is unbelievable when deals close fast. The morale in your office increases dramatically when the members of your team see that deals are closing quickly. The energy and the emotional state of your average employee are peaked when deals are closing all day left and right…BOOM.

SUPER MOVE #13 – Receivables-Based Financing [ 34:25 ]
Raising money with receivables-based financing is expensive, but if it is your only route to financing, then you need to consider it. Essentially, a company like SwiftCapital.com will purchase your receivables at a discounted rate and will give you the cash you need today. They set up fixed payments from your business checking account that they deduct each week until all of the receivables purchased have been paid back. The rate of interest that these companies charge can be very high so make sure that you know what you are getting yourself into before moving forward with companies like Kabbage.com, SwiftCapital.com, and CanCapital.com.
NOTABLE QUOTABLE – “Don’t worry about failure, you only have to be right once.” – Drew Houston (The co-founder and CEO of Dropbox)
SUPER MOVE #14 – Investors / Dancing with Potentially Key Partners or the Devil [ 35:50 ]
I have tried to not reference Satan, the Devil or the Anti-Christ in this book thus far, but now it is time. Whenever you take on an investor, you must realize that you are taking on a partner who is going to want to give you advice, good or bad, for the long haul. Occasionally, I will speak with a young man who is upset that his father-in-law is constantly judging him and telling him what to do after he let his father-in-law buy him a house or pay for his vacation. My friend, taking on an investor definitely involves you taking on their influence, their feedback and their world-view, good or bad.
NOTABLE QUOTABLE – “I knew that if I failed I wouldn’t regret it, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not trying.” – Jeff Bezos (Founder of Amazon)
SUPER MOVE #15 – Traditional Banking [ 40:05 ]
As a general rule, I have found that the local banks that you deposit your money with each and every week will be willing to invest in your business if you are operating at a 30% operating profit margin, if you have been a faithful and good customer with them, if you have a good credit score and if your loan package is Small Business Administration Loan compliant (SBA compliant). When banks lend money to a startup, it is very risky if you do not have enough collateral (stuff that the bank can take back if you don’t pay the loan off). However, if the bank can secure for you an SBA Loan, the deal becomes less risky because the Federal Government is actually going to guarantee approximately 85% of the value of your loan.

Can you talk to me about the importance of starting today? If you want to build a bank in relationship yeah, I mean it’s really interesting cuz we are in 2017, but there are still a lot of really good what I would call Community Banks – and these are business coach these – are bankers and Bank presidents like Sean Copeland at Regent,

I want a relationship with you because they want to business coach have an opportunity to grow with your business, and so, as you start out, you got to have a relationship with somebody that will be proactive in helping you grow in they’ll grow with you around here.

I made commissions, it was a win-win for a long business coach time and then they said you know what we’re paying so much and commissions were not going to pay this month and I thought to myself.
Well, you know you want to hit him with the rock. I didn’t research online realize I couldn’t hit him with a rock and probably illegal. I wanted business coach to slander them in public, wanted to set the house on fire or wanted to the Wings off of the Flies that aren’t there in your neighborhood, but I decided I couldn’t do those things so I moved on. I started my own photography company, hello.

I was working with a local restaurant who only know what people tell me I’m I don’t know if it’s accurate but working with this restaurant called me today.
When you have business coach marketing – and I said absolutely over a hundred 1st and Mingo area and basically. Mark – is it absolutely so we go in there and we give them the top of Google we’re getting. Google reviews were for my.
I can tell revenues going well then, all of a business coach sudden one day he says, hey, you know the credit line they’re pulling that do you know of a different bank will give me a credit one. So I referred him over to a different bank.
The other maker called me and says: hey just so. You know your client is paying all of their business coach bills on time, but the bank that the rat is having a few liquidity issues and they’d need to get rid of some of their at their credit.
So they’re it there’s no credit lines they’re calling in their notes. That means it like. If you have ,000 you owe to the bank, they can just call business coach you tomorrow and say we want it now.
That’S the phone call! You want to get it! That’S all. I love that stops just called me and told me that he doesn’t want to deny it, but he can’t work with you, because this Bank isn’t one to do credit lines right now and your bank is business coach out of.
They need to call the note, and so I can’t help you., Even the guy, that I’m referring you to care and he had to shut down its business and I’m going to say he was like maybe 45 in his entire life. Savings was into that building and of that business and he will have business coach it all called in immediately and that..
I wish that was like a rare thing or it’s never happened before, but that can happen. It will happen. It’S going to happen to you need to do you know what I’m going to be short, but I’m excited to hear this, because my parents are one business coach of the construction company that concrete business.
This was a constant thing. You would have these payment terms of 30 or 60 days and then the Builder would be late so you’re at 90 days without getting paid your invoice and then what you got to do.
You business coach got ,000 for the payroll every week. I’Ve seen this all the time and see if you are, if you are a contractor specifically to speak to that, do not extend agreement payment terms to your clients. Do not extend the payment terms.
Your client was going business coach to remodel a kitchen, explain to him. You have to pay half down to get started, half down when you’re done, don’t do a deal where you’re going to say: hey, you can pay overtime, let them go get their own credit, let them go and I’ll give example.
If you’re looking to business coach install a new pool, what’s going to do a Google search, this real quick, does a company called Caviness? It’S a cave, it’s Caviness pools because they just have a really really awesome.
Awesome pools, Caviness Landscapes and Caviness pool just awesome and I’m looking business coach cuz. I really want to put in a super ridiculous pool in our backyard there when we, when we moved at the studios over, I want someone to get a kind of a vision in my mind.
I can build a stack real, that’s a real good before that’s a real after this is cabin. If they business coach build these things, that’s awesome. I actually have resources available where people need to get financing to have that available.
So if you go on the cabinets.com they’re, not extending financing, but they have financing available that you can find some on business coach their site right now, I’m trying to find the page.
Yes, it on cabinets.com, and I ended up here and there it is, and it’s going good lightstream.com lightstream.com, it’s a division of the SunTrust Bank in able to extend loans for pools in Home Improvement up to it was low business coach as 4.99 % APR. Something about that.
If you are a builder, you could refer this company lightstream all the time in to say, you’re doing home remodeling our kitchen improvements. This company will do the financing for to your clients.
They have to apply business coach here. They’Ve got to put in their their their amount. They want to borrow some to do it right now, so it say that you’re, a a home builder, new, BMW, you’re, giving someone a quote to install bathroom, and they said you tell me it’s going to be ,000 to do your business coach kitchen and your bathroom and the Customer says I don’t have the money, you say: okay!
Well, why don’t you go up to lightstream.com and see what you qualify for you by the way if they don’t qualify for if they don’t qualify for Lending through lightstream, it’s business coach robably because they shouldn’t get financing, which is why you should?
I probably won’t pay you in early and when you feel, without it tells you, your estimated payment would be .86 per month if approved. But you got to put in your name your phone number, your business coach social, those kind of things to get approved.
But if you’re listening to the show today and you’re extending any kind of loan, do your clients, you must make them, do it through a third-party Source, refer them to White stream and check it out Steve.
You tell us business coach about how lending works if somebody gets denied because of they can’t get a loan walk me through the big baby, three or four reasons why someone would get denied for a loan.
They don’t have the income, no income. Next, they don’t have the credit credit, maybe business coach they’re, going through a divorce right. They don’t have the right. They don’t have the the equity in their house, maybe they’re, trying to borrow and put a pool in the house.
Why can somebody not get a loan if they’re going through a divorce to buy a house Steve’s like business coach a lawsuit, so I know what’s going to happen, are you going to have to pay Your Wife and Kids?
U Know, U have to pay ,000 a month in child support 200 a month. I don’t know, and it’s so that’s final. I have no way of calculating your debt ratio is for all.
I know you business coach have to pay 10 grand a month and one of my clients I work with this – is hilarious. Hilarious during the client says: hey I’ve got a guy wants to install a major kitchen, upgrade it’s going to be on ,000. I really need this account. Has been referred him to a third party business coach lender, so we said well, the guy said you know. Banks are today anyway.
I should know if he got denied. Do not lend him money. Don’T do. I really need the deal true story, so he then extend payment terms to the guy and the guy about halfway to the payment business coach cuz, I’m not satisfied with the work and I’m not going to pay the remaining ,000 in the meeting going.
I told you this is how it work. Some of you listen to the show. I never want to beat you up. I want to coach you up. I don’t want to talk down to you, but you cannot business coach extend credit to clients you’re, not a bank. That’S what banks do so he decided competencies, not baking. Your core competency is whatever you do.
It’S not banking. Since you’re, not a bank, don’t be a bank who has all these processes and systems in these risk? Tolerance. Isn’T business coach all that says? No?
No, but you and your infinite knowledge of lending money to people are going to go by the bank said no, but I trust this guy. Here’S your sign. I think you’ll pay me, but do you notice the guy didn’t say I can’t pay you. He just found a business coach reason to not pay.
He said, I’m not happy with the work and he probably knew from the get-go that he was going to. He was going to pull that move. I’M not happy with the work.
Absolutely there’s people out there that have that move. I know these people and business coach we’ve all met these people. Everybody here just don’t want to work with people like that how to get the money you need to start and grow your business.
We come back we’re going to teach you super move number 11. Super move. Number 11. Is this right time show on business coach the radio? Our entire goal is to help you increase your level of happiness, smoke and mirrors. 3. 2. 1 boom. It’S the right time show and now you know what time it is.
I can be what I want to switch that I would do what I don’t do. I need a miracle. I hope it comes business coach through I’m trying to work it out. I need to jump soon.
Cuz, I’m about had me enough for not having enough slack in the stuff. Who knows how it’s going to work out. I do Proverbs 10:4 says that God, blesses God blesses the diligent do it.
Is it proper to enforce their business coach God blesses, be diligent and punishes the slacker fun to go to Hobby Lobby and to get those verses? You know the middle, the placards he put in the bathroom.
You know so you’re going to the restroom to wash your hands on me. Let’S keep it clean your phone business coach and you notice there’s a picture, it says blast or one of my favorite ones that says God blesses the building.
I remember going to somebody’s a bathroom. True story went to the bathroom, I saw Eyes Of God blesses the diligent, and I thought I can’t disagree with business coach that. So I looked it up, and so I looked it up and it may be.
Some of you were going to look this up for the first time I heard you know if you want to read all the show not to put all the stuff on her show notes, I would highly recommend that you go to thrive business coach time, show.com and click on The podcasts button cuz they’re, going to fight what you can subscribe for free subscriber for you can check and see.
If you get to have unlimited access to all the podcast, we have it. Also all the show notes. So I’m going to go ahead and type business coach it into my great Google Proverbs. 10:4.
Okay, don’t wait! This is going to be up on the show notes today. So we’ll put it up there so calm down if you’re able to Google it with us, but it says lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.
That’S that’s! That’S business coach not the one! That’S one! There’S all different versions of The New International Version. There’S all different version.
So what if you think about this is lazy and to make for poverty, but it also says the English Standard Version of slack hand causes poverty, but business coach the head of diligent make rich.
I think we’re starting to get this. It’S his lazy. People are soon poor, hard workers get rich New Living Translation. So what you’re saying is it’s it’s easy to to get rich and you can kind of just kind of skate through well.
I think that a lot of business coach people don’t understand that. God is saying that, like you, actually it’s a it’s a it’s a it’s! He got himself is causing you to be poor. If you work it’s a rule, he set up. It’S a rule.
It’S a it’s a his chosen that to work that way. So, just like you put your fire, are you put your business coach hand in the fire? You know you’re not going. Why does that have to hurt it’s on the wall?

Third, are the three C’s of capillary of Partnership. If you partner with somebody you getting three C’s see number one, you get the capital to you, get the council. I don’t know what that means. You means you business coach need to get their feedback.
You have to hear from them. You get there if you’re, not here, if it’s good or not. Penney business coach on in the third, is you get their connections good or bad? You get access good or bad. As an example.
Years ago I partnered with a guy and at our holiday party, he attempted to grope one of the married members of our team. He followed her business coach into the bathroom and just went for it and everybody who worked for the covers about 15 years ago and 13 years ago. Everyone on the team was like.

You got to make sure your business coach partner with people who you share the same values with because, if not check them, and then it gets weird when your partner with someone and you don’t share their value yeah, I mean you never eat.
You can’t really predict what they’re going to do. At some business coach point I mean on a base level, if you know somebody’s values, you kind of know how they’re going to act in certain situations and if, if, if you don’t know what those values are there ceiling secret, you know values and really how they do life.
