Debt Financing: Funding Your Small Business The Smart Way  (Skillshare)

Your small business is poised for major growth — but how will you get there? In this 50-minute class, Bond Street CEO David Haber will explain how you as a creative entrepreneur can take advantage of debt financing to grow your small business. Are you a design studio looking to move into a bigger space? A freelancer with an LLC planning to hire a second employee? A coffee shop opening a new location?

A production company investing in new equipment? From knowing what your loan options are, to what you need for the application, and the "magic number" you should keep in mind to ensure success, David draws on his experience as both a lender and a venture capitalist to lay out the financing process in simple, clear terms.
This class is meant for creative entrepreneurs and small business owners in all fields who are looking to dream big and take their companies to the next level. No prior financial knowledge is necessary — all you need is the passion that got you into this business in the first place, and the desire to invest in your own growth.
What would you do with a $100k loan?
Share a paragraph describing how you would invest $100,000 to grow your small business.
Your project might include one or more of these opportunities:

  • Opening a new storefront
  • Moving to a larger space
  • Buying new equipment
  • Hiring staff

If you aren't currently a business owner, then this is your chance to dream big! Hypothetical scenarios are more than welcome.
