Business owners face a multitude of issues on a daily basis – one of the biggest being funding options. And, when the bank turns you down, what do you do? Alternative Funding Options (AFO) CEO/President, Cheryl O’Neill Gowen, has made it a mission to make that kind of information available to business owners via her monthly column in the Business Observer (www.review.net).
Alternative Funding Options specializes in advising and finding cash flow alternatives for any size or type of business. Gowen states that “from equipment leasing to asset based lines of credit to commercial real estate financing, funding options are available…it you know where to look.” Over the years Gowen discovered that many business owners were not aware of the types of available alternative funding and programs as well as the benefits those funds would bring to their company. AFO’s vast experience makes it possible for businesses to be quickly approved for funding plans.
In an effort to educate business owners in the Tampa Bay community, Gowen began writing a monthly column for the Business Observer. The column has been well-received and is popular with readers. Following are links to the current columns:
– What you should know about asset-based lending
– How to turn your future credit card sales into cash
These monthly columns pose realistic questions and offer practical solutions on timely topics. For example, in the most recent column, “How to turn your future credit card sales into cash”, Gowen discusses how restaurants, retail, franchises or seasonal businesses are running into difficulty obtaining credit from traditional finance institutions. These types of merchants rely heavily on credit card processing and a possible solution might be merchant cash advances. How do they work…what is the cost…and who can quality…are all addressed and real-life scenarios are given as examples.
