Customer Reviews

Loaded with information

This book is a valuable tool to use in a more complicated era of financing small businesses. Bankers are much more analytical today in evaluating business loan requests, and the author attempts to bridge the gap between what financial information the banker requires and what their clients must produce. I found this book very helpful, and have already employed many suggestions.

Excellent book for small business owners

This book was very useful in helping me understand what my bank wanted to learn about my enterprise before agreeing to finance us. I have struggled to keep growth capital coming my way for the past few years. The days of "no money down" and just "taking your banker to lunch" are over.Mr. Green's straight talk and financial insight enabled me to understand what my bank wanted to see and why. His methodical approach to determining why, how much, and from where to get financing lowered my borrowing requirements and helped save me money. The alternatives to bank financing suggested in the book continues to generate new ideas that I can use to leverage my capital. In the end, I realized that all of the information and structure required by the bank ultimately will make my business stronger. Anyone needing to borrow more than $100,000 for their business would benefit from reading this book.
