Web sources for finding backing for your business

The latest thing on the Web:  sites that specialize in making “love connections” for financing.

There’s a crop of new online resources that match businesses up with financing – like a Match.com for your company’s cash flow.

Here’s how it works, and why it may be worth some consideration.

We all know banks are tighter than ever with credit, and many suppliers are getting tired of being treated like banks.

The mission of these sites is to hook up entrepreneurs and potential investors in Cyberspace.

Once you register with the site, you can post your firm’s financing needs.

Potential investors can search by industry, location, capital amount or keyword.

When someone’s interested, you’ll receive an e-mail alerting you.

No request is too big or too small. You can put the call out for financing less than $10,000 or more than $10 million.

It’s not strictly for startups either – existing businesses can post to find funds, too.

And posting they are: When we last checked, there were 4,682 requests listed (and counting) on one site.

The cost to start the search for partners?

RaiseCapital.com, for instance, charges a $99 one-time fee, with no recurring charges. Other sites, like Go BIG, let you sign up for free, then pay depending on the level of access you want.
