A breeze to read and very informative!.......2005-04-04
This book offers a very clear and concise explanation of the SBA loan process. It really helped me understand the fundamentals of SBA lending in a way that allowed me to use this knowledge in my practice. To be fair to the author and publisher, I giving it the full five star rating, even though some of the information in the book is out of date by now.
Excellent. Delivers what it promises........2003-06-04
WORD OF WARNING: I haven't actually put into practice the advice in this book, so I can't say whether the information is correct.
It is, however, presented in a VERY clear and understandable and logical manner. The book strikes an excellent balance between keeping it simple but NOT talking down. It assumes the reader is an intelligent adult (not a "dummy", if you know what I mean) who doesn't know much about the SBA or getting money from same. It then goes about giving you all the steps needed to understand what the SBA is, does and how you can take advantage. It doesn't make it sound "easy" but it does make it sound doable. The book is very detailed, which you want in such a book, but doesn't read like a textbook. It combines down-to-earth advice and experience, with some hard and fast rules and steps to success.
Although I haven't read every book on the subject, it's hard to imagine there is a better one out there. Highly recommended!!
The SBA Loan Book by Charles H. Green.......2000-06-25
Charles H. Green has taken the mystery out of commercial loan financing. With millions of dollars of SBA financing under his belt, he has converted that experience into an easy to understand, logical resource text in the SBA Loan Book. As a small business planning and development adviser, I find this publication as the best hands-on guide to the maze of commercial financing. Praises to publisher Adams Media Corporation for their ability to see the need of small business owners every where and for investing the time and money to produce this outstanding publication. Every Entrepreneur should own this book as should every new SBA loan officer involved in the process.
A Review For All Cycles.......2000-02-12
Just as life has clearly defined cycles, so does a small business enterprise and the SBA book by Charles H.Green depicts it clearly. Whether it's the start-up or expansion cycle, his book will show you how to plan for the loan, how to go through the document review, and how to enjoy the award of a loan. It walks you through the long and frightening process of getting a loan with sound advice and forms that inform and educate.
What if turned down? It shows the applicant why it happened and how to repair any damages to their business' ego. It very smartly says, "it's not personal it's business."
As antrepreneur dealing with capital formation on a regular basis, I recommend this book to all who know the trials and tribulations of "getting the money." You will find an answer to your situation, guaranteed.

Book Description
This set of two CD-ROMs contains a brand-new, fully updated and revised collection of the finest federal documents and resources on government grants, plus assistance programs for small businesses. There is greatly expanded individual coverage of hundreds of federal agencies and departments, along with new tips and resources for grant proposal writing. In addition, next-generation search technology now allows complete indexing and makes all files on each disc fully searchable! The depth and breadth of the greatly improved coverage of federal grants and small business programs is truly awesome.
FEDERAL GRANTS - This year, we go far beyond just the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (with its nearly 17,000 pages of loans, grants, surplus equipment, and training from 1883 agency and department programs worth $300 billion). The two CD-ROM discs have 50 unique sections devoted to specific agencies or topics, with over 100,000 pages of material!
There is specific information on each of 15 types of assistance: Formula Grants, Project Grants, Direct Payments for Specified Use, Direct Payments with Unrestricted Use, Direct Loans, Guaranteed and Insured Loans, Insurance, Sale/Exchange/Donation of Property and Goods, Use of Property, Facilities, and Equipment, Advisory Services and Counseling, Dissemination of Technical Information, Training, Investigation of Complaints, and Federal Employment.

Our reproduction of the CFDA alone would be substantially less expensive than the printed version offered by the Government Printing Office at $63. As the catalog itself says, "Get started today exploring the amazing world of grants and loans provided by the Federal Government!" Our new document collection, however, goes far beyond just the CFDA - by 88,000 pages!

This one is not a winner.......2004-09-25
I have to give the company that compiled it a thumbs up for the packaging, anything beyond that gets a 1 out of 5.This item is basically a CD with internet websites on it that you have to spend weeks and months researching it yourself, no real research was ever done on their part other than provide internet sites to the government agencies that provide financial assistance. I recommend this product for people who don?t have access to the internet.
not worth the money .......2004-08-24
This disk is very broad and really doesn't give insite to receiving grant money. It also wasn't very easy to navigate though. I have found way more useful information from simply searching on the internet.
Not as useful as it could be ..........2004-07-10
Ive been writing grants for some years now and thought that I could make my life easier by purchasing the CD set. When I recieved the 2004 Guide to Federal Grants, I was immensely disappointed. Instead of creating a useful, cross referenced CD, they simply took webpages and their links and transferred them directly into PDF format. I could have done the exact same thing using Google and Adobe Acrobat. There are no cross-references, no additional information into grants, and tabs were not even written into the PDF to assist with nagivation. Instead, they recommend that you use the "search" feature available with Adobe Reader. It is NOT worth paying their asking price, go to your local NonProfit Resource Center instead or just do a Google search for Federal NonProfit Grant Sites.

Customer Reviews:
Good general overview.......2007-05-09
If you know nothing about financing a small business, this book is a good place to start to understand the basics of business finance. It's broken down into several basic sections:
1. Choosing the Form of Your Business
2. Business Plans
3. Equity Financing
4. Debt Financing
5. Securities Law
6. Licensing and Franchising
7. Friends, Angels, and Venture Capital Sources
8. Presentations
9. Corporate Governance
10. How to Choose Professionals
If you've been to business school or even started a business before, you're probably not going to learn anything new here. Financing a startup pretty much mean using your own money (borrowing or savings) or getting somebody that knows you personally to lend you the money or buy into the business as a partner in some way. Of course the business plan is important and you might be able to raise money from venture capitalists or angels, but this book doesn't go into many specifics on that or any of the other topics in the outline.
Still, if you don't know anything about these basics, the book is a good read. If you do, you might want to look elsewhere for more specific information.
Solid Introductory Book for Financing a Business.......2005-01-17
This is a good introductory book valuable for people who need financing when starting or running a small business. It covers important topics for obtaining financing in a very readable manner. It provides good advice, such as, "Keep your options open until the deal is done and do not forget to plan an exit strategy...." and then lists several exit strategies. The authors give advice on when to have a limited liability company run by its members or run by a board of managers, what one of the purposes of writing a business plan is (hint: it's not just for running the business), and also provides a business start-up checklist. There is a sample business plan and sample formation documents for a corporation and for a limited liability company. The authors discuss how to offset any lack of depth on the management team. The chapter on Equity Financing tells the business owner what the potential investor will be looking for in deciding whether to invest. Advice is given on debt financing, and includes website addresses of various government sources. The Securities Law chapter covers a complicated area broadly without getting too deep for the reader. The book concisely explains the difference between licensing a product and franchising a business. The authors describe eight different types of angel investors, how to target them for the current needs of the business, and lists what factors angel investors and venture capital firms may use in evaluating a business.
The book is not a substitute for having the advice of an attorney during start-up and during financing, but it contains very useful information that will make the reader more knowledgeable in growing the company. This book would also be a very good gift for someone who is considering whether to start a business.
Financing your Small Business.......2004-11-24
This book is a must for every Entrepreneur...It explains how to finance your dream business from debt to equity, corporate governance, capital structure....It is well researched and well presented...Buy it and get on with your new business !!
Tarby Bryant, The Gathering of Angels-505-982-3050
The definitive book.......2004-11-15
This is the most complete and comprehensive book I've ever read on the subject of financing a small business. Not only does it cover some real funding alternatives (with pros and cons) but it tells you how to do it as well. It's a must read for every small business person
I especially like the way the book is organized so I can find what I need and refer back to it easily. It should be part of every entrepreneur's reference library.

FEDERAL GRANTS
Here is the OFFICIAL guide to Federal Grants and other assistance, produced by the Federal Government, with over 16,000 pages of loans, grants, surplus equipment, and training from 1482 agency programs worth $300 billion!
In addition to the comprehensive, extensively cross-referenced catalog of programs, there is information on developing and writing grant proposals and applying for federal assistance. It is produced by the General Services Administration, Office of Governmentwide Policy. Our reproduction is substantially less expensive than the printed version offered by the Government Printing Office at $63, and more convenient than the CFDA website. As the catalog itself says, "Get started today exploring the amazing world of grants and loans provided by the Federal Government!"
The "Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance" gives you access to a listing of all Federal programs available to State and local governments (including the District of Columbia); federally recognized Indian tribal governments; Territories (and possessions) of the United States; domestic public, quasi-public, and private profit and nonprofit organizations and institutions; specialized groups; and individuals. You can find assistance programs meeting your requirements and for which you are eligible. You can then contact the office that administers the program and find out how to apply.
Features of the catalog include:
September 11th: Assistance Programs relating to recovery/response and U.S. Government Resources for the events of September 11th * Types of Assistance * Applying for Federal Assistance * Developing and Writing Grant Proposals * Top 10% Program List * All Programs Listed Numerically * 2001 Formula Report * Historical Index
The catalog includes this "note for individuals": "Many individuals [expect] to find some way to apply for a grant or loan directly from the Federal Government. While there are a limited number of programs offering direct loans to individuals, most programs provide funds to state and local governments or other organization to manage the distribution of assistance according to local needs. For example, a VA or FHA loan comes from a financial institution such as a bank, credit union, or mortgage company, not directly from the Federal Government." e Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Please see the Table of Contents tab for a complete list of the agencies with programs included on this CD-ROM.

Pointless.......2004-07-10
Save yourself a lot of money and time ... just visit your local NonProfit Resource Center. These CD's are direct burns from government websites with a cheap case and covers. I got them and returned them the same day.
do not buy.......2004-07-07
It is not from government. Useless disk and don't waste your time and money. Search else where.
Disappointing.......2003-08-13
The CDROM is essentially a dump of the information found on government websites such as SBA, SEC, etc.
The information is voluminous so if you have a slow modem, there may be some value in purchasing the info on the CDROM for the sake of having it consolidated in one place. You will learn little new if you have already been to the websites.
Also, some of the links on the CDROM do not work properly. You open the page in Adobe Acrobat and receive and error message saying the page has to be opened in a browser. You open the page in a browser and you get a message saying the page has to be opened in Adobe Acrobat.
That kind of foolishness more or less sums up the value of the CDROM from my perspective.
big time-waster.......2003-05-11
Not only is all of this info available online, but the CD gives you a collection of non-indexed, gigantically HUGE Acrobat PDF files, some about 100MB in size. Navigating a 5MB text PDF is painfully slow - try 100 MB. Finding what you're seeking is practically impossible, and navigating PDFs of that size takes an eternity. Even a fast machine takes a couple minutes just to load the files into Acrobat, never mind doing searches, etc.
If they had broken up the files and named them logically (instead of titles like A1, B1, etc.), and provided some kind of indexing application or document that would point you to specifically what you wanted, then, yes, it might be handy to have. Otherwise, go online, and find answers 100 times more quickly. This is a ridiculously poorly done CD-ROM in this day and age. Big waste of $, in my opinion. If you have a slower/older computer without much memory, you'd REALLY want to avoid this thing like the plague.
You can get this on line for free.......2003-05-05
This disc contains pdf files downloaded from government web pages. Save yourself the money and go to the SBA, GSA, SEC web pages yourself and look up the information that is relevant to you.
