Small Business and Franchise Funding

small business funding

Our dismal economy has left many individuals without jobs due to layoffs, downsizing, corporate bankruptcies and myriad other unhappy events. Even the companies that are hiring have the advantage of choosing from an extremely wide range of qualified candidates resulting in lower wages and salaries. With these limited options, many individuals are leaving the uncertainty of the job market and going out on their own and becoming entrepreneurs.

Many economists, including a recent Nobel Prize winner for economics, have said, “It could take as long as 15 years for families to recover to their pre-recession wealth.” Whatever your situation, it’s highly probable that you don’t have that kind of time on your side. As the job losses continue to pile up each month, economists speculate that job losses for the year will continue across many regions and business segments. Even those industries that are recovering will be severely restrained when it comes to hiring new employees thanks to higher taxes and proposed legislation.

“The Entrepreneurial Solution”

If you’ve ever said, “If I could do it over again, I’d be my own boss” then this may be the ideal time to consider your options and opportunities. At IRA Financial Group, we specialize in helping entrepreneurs obtain small business capital to get them started. With the IRA Financial Group’s IRA LLC and Solo 401(k), we can assist you with small business funding through your qualified retirement assets.

The IRA Financial Group Self-Directed IRA Plans allows entrepreneurs to access their 401(k), IRA, SEP or other retirement holdings and invest it in a new or existing business. Let’s be clear, this is an investment, not a withdrawal.
