Financing Small Businesses is Alive and Well!Even though it's hard to get financing for small businesses these days, Fundingpost.com is still in the game even in this market. Secret 1- Sixty Seconds or Die!Be prepared to state your name, your company name and what makes your company stand out in one minute or less. I mean it. Sixty seconds is all you get to capture an investor's imagination.You would be shocked at the large percentage of small business owners who choke right at the beginning. Practice and time yourself. Ask a friend to help you get your introduction crisp and clean. No swagger please, just the facts. Angel investors and venture capitalists will give you barely a minute of their time. Get this right and you'll have access to finish the conversation and get financing for your small businesses. Get this wrong and you'll never get your small business start up money. Substance counts here, not just aggressiveness. There are plenty of people out there with sharp elbows. There are fewer people seeking financing for small businesses who have great, proven ideas that can generate real return on investment. Dawn Fotopulos
