Guidant Financial Group Blog

BusinessWeek had another article this week that piqued our interest (yes, they are our fave at the moment). This one had to do with the most profitable start-ups in 2008. And when we say "profitable" we mean "venture-capital worthy." Not exactly the same thing - but close.

Actually, not even close. Remember those dotcom days? Venture captial did not really mean profitable during those years, but we are thinking they've learned their lesson and are diversifying a bit more.

Or not!

BusinessWeek's list of Venture Capital's Favorite Startups seems to have the same undeviating focus on certain industries as it did in 2000. Let's see what made the list:

- Biotech
- Technology
- Pharmaceuticals
- Medicine and Medical Research

Hmmmm. We see computers and doctors. Looks to be about it!

So! What about the rest of us out there who need capital for our business start-ups? Well, we have some great news for you!

Guidant has expanded its services to include Unsecured Loans, Equipment Leasing and SBA Loans. Yes! You can now explore your options for several different forms of financing in one place!

Of course, our most popular financing method is 401(k) Small Business Financing; however, we have heard from our clients and partners that additional options can help make the difference between realizing your dreams and, well, just dreaming.

To learn more about our new financing options, call in and ask to speak with one of our Client Coordinators. They can find out more about your situation and schedule a time for you to speak with one of our Senior Consultants or other financing experts about the financing options that may best meet your needs!
