There isn't a straightforward answer when deciding what type of funding option is best for your business. "Depending on where you're at in your business, what type of funding you are seeking, and the amount you need, where you'll look can vary widely." Angelique O'Rourke, "35 Great Ways to Fund A Small Business, or 67 Small Business Grants to Help Grow Your Business.
There are a wide array of funding options. Some of which include:
- SBA loans
- Bank loans
- Non-profit microloans
- U.S. government funding options
- Crowdfunding
- Bootstrapping
- Reg A+
For instance, Regulation A+ (or Reg A+) is a new way to raise capital created by the SEC. Think of it as a Simple Public Offering or SPO that raises between $2 million and $75 million per year. This is crowdfunding taken to the next level.
For midstage companies looking for funding options, growth capital platforms like Manhattan Street Capital, Inc. (MSC) connect investors with high-performing midmarket companies by leveraging SEC's Reg A+. Manhattan Street Capital is an online service that addresses the problem of restricted access to growth capital by providing a platform through which to raise growth funds.
