You could wait until the need arises, but at that point it will be more difficult to make the VoIP phone switch.

Financing a business venture is a difficulty that many start-up owners have encountered. While you can pin your hopes on the success of a GoFundMe or angel investors , these are not always promising and certainly not guaranteed. Fortunately, stock loans are another way to get funds if you own shares in securities. For those struggling to gain access to money lending via traditional banking institutions, stock loans, also called securities lending, can be a helpful financial resource.

Word-of-mouth marketing is powerful. We trust people we know more than strangers who try to sell us things. It’s just common sense. But, in today’s bizarre digital world, a new type of “people we know” has emerged. Let me show you what I mean… In about a month I’m going to a yoga event led by my friend Adriene. Though, to be honest, I’ve never met Adriene – so maybe “friend” is too strong a word.

By Kurt Rathmann, CEO and Co-Founder, ScaleFactor. Starting a business begins as a pipe dream, a crazy idea that requires persistence through a series of challenges that will threaten to extinguish the flame. Bringing that dream to fruition means maintaining hold of the passion that fueled the fire to begin with, which is sometimes a tough ask in the face of struggle.

What are the chances of getting hit by a lawsuit? It depends. According to state data, you have an 11.5% risk of getting hit by an employee charge. But, that’s only one area of an industry where 40 million suits are filed each year. The President himself has been involved in 3,500 in the past thirty years, according to [link]. As more and more companies use litigation as a tool to hurt their competitors, it’s essential to limit the damage.

One of my first seed investments was in a company that was looking to disrupt the textbook publishing space. The team was terrific, and the premise was to develop a digital textbook product that was 20x cheaper, better, and more convenient than traditional textbooks. The team brought an amazing product to market but the business just didn’t work. The core mistake we made was misclassifying the kind of business we were building.

This is the problem NASA faced 50 years ago with Apollo 13. They fixed it way back then with ‘Mirror Systems’ of the craft they had on earth.
