Financing:  From bank loans and SBA loans to investors and crowdfunding, Venture Studios can help meet your business growth needs. In today’s economy banks/financial institutions have limited their loans to small businesses and especially startup companies. Crowdfunding offers entrepreneurs an innovative way to raise funding for their projects quickly. Venture Studios has numerous other funding sources to suit a client's specific need. 

SERVICES

Business Plan Snapshot™: This is basically a "brief/executive summary" business plan designed to help quickly solidify the funding you need for your business or specific project, whether it be a bank loan (e.g., SBA, etc.), a specific grant, angel investment or venture capital. These reports are normally only 4 - 6 pages in length and feature a unique brochure layout/style using smaller type/fonts - all designed to give investors a "bird's-eye view" of a business for quick assessment. Content includes sections such as Company Overview, Business Environment, Products/Services Description, Marketing Program/Target Market/Value Proposition, Operation Overview/Timelines, Financing/Use of Proceeds and Management/ Advisory Board. Report prices start at a fraction of the cost of a full business plan.
