When starting a
business, trying to find funding could be the most difficult part in someone
reaching his or her goal. There are many reasons why an individual may not
succeed in finding an investor to invest in their company; but the main reason
could be because they do not have a business plan that may catch the interest
of an investor. There are many sites that could help an individual out with
funding, but they will have to do a lot of research to find one that they
qualify for. Some sites that can be helpful and provide grant opportunities are
definitely out there, but there is a process that I hope you’re prepared to go
through.
Before I started
my artists management company, King’s Vision Entertainment, I always thought
that the task would be easy; but there was a lot that I had to learn, before I
jumped into this entertainment industry and let it eat me alive. To be honest,
I thought that I could start my company with the money I had, but there was so
much more to it, and that is the reason I chose to further my education, and
pursue my B.S. and M.S. at Full Sail University for the Entertainment Business.
After completing both programs, I now have the knowledge and resources that I
need to be successful in building my company up as a dominant brand, and find
the funding that I need to keep my company running.
There are some
resources that I can give to you, if you want to succeed in this entertainment
industry, where there is nothing but individuals that will try to get over on
you if you do not have the knowledge or drive that it takes to remain an
existence. One site is the U.S. Small Business Administration (sba.gov), which is a government website that
offers loans and grants, that you may qualify for, and to be honest they will
guide you in the right direction. This agency says that they can aid, counsel,
assist and protect the interest of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain
and strengthen the overall economy of our nation. Another company is the
National Venture Capital Association (nvca.org),
this association empowers its members and
the entrepreneurs they fund by advocating for policies that encourage
innovation and reward long-term investment. These two sites are very
informative, and are two that I believe that can help you succeed in living out
your dreams as an entrepreneur who is determined to make it on their own; but
do believe there are many, many more.
Any questions or
advice that you may need from me about starting up or strengthening your
business, feel free to comment or email me. My email is: kingsvisionent@gmail.com.
