FUNDING HAPPENINGS
The transfer of money during funding has come under increasingly numerous and sophisticated attacks. IPX1031 offers a third-party service (this is not an endorsement but an example) of money processing and handling with security measures that may be greater than an individual business may have or afford and which also may be adequate to the purpose of protecting the transaction. They have produced a video on Safeguard Your 1031 Exchange Transactions .
?FUNDING POINT – FUNDING SOURCES - ASSESSMENT
Within this Instant Funding newsletter, I have reviewed twenty-one different funding sources without yet addressing the majors of banks, angel investors, and equity funds. An assessment of these funding sources shows a number of similarities and dissimilarities that may guide a small business in the development of its capital-raising strategy.
?Very few funding sources provide equity funding when compared to the vast majority that offer debt financing. There are several factors that contribute to this difference:
·?????? Interest rates on debt financing are inadequate to cover the potential losses from high-risk opportunities
·?????? The potential losses from high-risk ventures are best addressed through an investment strategy that is:
o?? diversified over multiple investments and is
o?? employed by individuals with the skill and experience to evaluate the different investment opportunities
·?????? A very small fraction of investment opportunities may generate an outcome great enough to match the associated risks
?The result is a greater scarcity of funding for startup businesses. There is an even greater scarcity of funding for businesses offering highly innovative products and services within undeveloped markets. The result is maximum competition for equity funding, with only a fraction of eligible businesses receiving funding.
?As a business matures, moving from concept to profitability and growth, the probability of success increases as the risk of failure decreases, resulting in qualification for debt financing from more and more sources.
?A capital strategy for a small business needs to:
·?????? Identify sources of funding that match their state of maturation and the risk level of the business
·?????? Plan for self-funding to advance their businesses as far as necessary to obtain funding
·?????? Engage in activities that reduce risks of operations and accelerate attaining a risk level where funding is available
·?????? Engage in activities that position the business competitively with other businesses that are also seeking funding
?Where more than one source of funding is available to a small business, the small business should consider the cost of the money, the cost of raising the money, and the impact of the funding on attaining the goals of the business.

As a member of this new company, I am working with a team of professionals to craft a new funding mechanism for revitalizing underserved communities.

In parallel, the newly formed RCI Academy Corporation will offer educational programs on community revitalization.
