Frequently Asked Questions - Starting a Business

Q: Where do I look for investors?

A: A potential business owner may seek investors by contacting friends, business acquaintances, relatives, clients or industry colleagues. In addition, an owner can contact banks and commercial finance companies. Financial institutions may also know of venture capitalists interested in investing in new businesses.

Q: What is a debt-to-equity ratio, and what does it mean for my ability to attract financing?

A: The debt-to-equity ratio is the relationship between the money the owner has borrowed for the business and the funds the owner has invested in the business. Generally, the more money that an owner invests in the business, the easier it is to attract additional investors and financing.
