Funding can come in two primary forms, debt or equity. Should the business take on debt, and from where? Should the entrepreneur sell a share in the company, and to whom?\\n\\nI is for intellectual. Every company is built around a product or service. But in a competitive market, new ideas are what make a company prosper or fail.\\n\\nS is for social. Does the founder have the connections to get the business off the ground? Where are the customers, who are the advisers, and from where will the money come?\\n\\nH is for human. Most businesses need more than one employee. Who is going to help run the business?\\xa0\\nAbout Our Sponsor\\nBench Bookkeeping is this episodes sponsor.\\xa0 Being an entrepreneur, bookkeeping is a necessary evil.\\xa0 To put your bookkeeping needs on autopilot check out Bench Bookkeeping and get one month free at veteranonthemove.com/bench.\\n\\nTo hear more about Anthony\\u2019s success, download this episode now.\\n\\nDon\\u2019t forget to leave us a 5-star rating and review if you enjoyed the show.
