Whether
you are a first time entrepreneur or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company,
in these tough times, just about every business has experienced a
shortage of cash. While banks and many traditional lenders have
tightened their regulations and restructured their lending practices,
the consequences have been quite devastating for businesses needing
access to capital.
As in
every economic environment, there are those that are barely surviving as
well as those that are thriving which results in an ever-changing
landscape in the capital markets. Many niche or boutique lenders are now asserting their
capabilities due to the difficulty businesses are having
connecting to the orthodox financing.
