No matter what financing method you choose thoroughly investigate the ups and downs and don't jump in with both feet until you're sure you'll land on solid ground.


Savings and Investments

The first source you should consider tapping is your own savings and investments. I'm a huge fan of self-financing when it comes to business because it doesn't make you responsible to others should the business fail. The bad thing is that it if things do go under, it will be your money that goes down with the ship. If you're not willing to risk your own capital you certainly shouldn't be willing to risk anyone else's.


Friends and Family

After tapping their own savings and investments, many entrepreneurs turn to friends and family for help. This works well for some, but here's the creed I live by: NEVER borrow money from anyone you have to eat Thanksgiving dinner with.

Nothing causes tension in a family like lending money that is never paid back. And notice I say "lending money" rather than investing money. Venture capitalists invest money. Your relatives lend you money. They will expect it back someday even if they say they won't.

Remember, when a loved one invests in your business they are emotionally investing in you. It would be tough to tell mom and dad that their favorite son lost their life savings because his business went down the drain.


Credit Cards

I financed my first business on credit cards, which was an incredibly stupid thing to do given the fact that my business could have failed and left me with thousands of dollars in credit card debt that would have taken until the year 2099 to pay off. It worked out in the end for me, but if you decide to finance your business on plastic keep in mind that you will be paying extremely high interest rates on the money you've borrowed and unless you hit it big you will be paying for that money for many years to come.


Mortgage The Farm

Bank loans are next to impossible to get if you don't have collateral and a track record of business success, which is why many entrepreneurs use the equity in their homes to finance their business after being turned down for a bank loan. While this makes more sense than building a business on a deck of credit cards, the financial risks are no less abundant. You must pay this money back whether your business succeeds or not, but it is a good source of low interest money to get you started and the interest may be tax deductible (check with your accountant to make sure).


Angel Investors

An angel investor is typically a wealthy individual who invests in start up ventures for a share of the ownership.

Angel investors are usually the first formal investors in a business and provide the seed money to get the business up and running. Some angel investors will write you a check and leave you alone to run your business while others consider their investment a license to "help you" manage and make decisions. If you do accept angel money make sure the terms are clearly defined on both sides. Angel money always comes with strings. Make sure you know whether those strings come in the form of a bow or a noose before you accept an angel's check.

Venture Capitalists

Venture capitalists are to angel investors as pit bulls are to Chihuahuas. That's not to say all VC are big, bad dogs, but they do have powerful jaws that can chew up your business and spit it out if things don't go their way. VC money doesn't come with strings, it comes with chains and locks and lots of legal documents. VC always have the upper hand in any deal they invest in. That's just how it works and that's the price you pay to get access to VC money.

If your business gets to the level that VC money becomes a viable option, don't jump at the first bone a VC dangles before your eyes.

If one VC likes your idea, others will, too. Present to multiple VC and carefully consider each offer before you accept the check.

Just remember, no matter how you finance your business, use the money wisely. Don't buy $1,500 plasma monitors and $1,000 Hermann Miller chairs.

Have a very clear plan of how the money will be used and how it will be paid back.

And remember this, the more you can shoestring the business, but more of the business you will own in the end.

"Over the past few years, prices of items such as plasma and LCD screens have come down and both, along with other popular consumer electronics, are becoming the gifts of choice for the holiday season. It is important that the consumers who have made such costly investments, are aware of how to properly maintain and protect their equipment," concluded Newman.Display electronics, especially over the past few years with the introduction of plasma and LCD televisions, have seen tremendous growth. Sales of plasma TVs for 2003 were nearly $1.5 billion, up from $515 million in 2002, while sales of LCD screens for 2003 totaled approximately $651 million, up from $246 million in 2002. Continuing in that trend, the Consumer Electronics Association projected significantly higher sales for 2004, with plasma displays expected to generate $2.2 billion in sales and LCD screen sales to break the $1 billion mark.For a cost-effective and reliable solution, consumers can turn to Falcon Safety Products and its Dust-Off? brand of consumer/personal electronics cleaning products. Dust-Off? comprises an extensive line of cleaning products, including compressed-gas dusters, assorted cleaning wipes and a microfiber Screen Shammy, that together, provide the tools necessary for the effective preventative maintenance of any consumer electronics platform.As the holiday season is right around the corner, the products in the Dust-Off line are the essential stocking-stuffers for the consumer electronics enthusiast.

The Dust-Off Screen Shammy microcloth is the ideal solution for safely cleaning smudges, lint and dust from delicate plasma and LCD screens. Made from a suede-like microfiber material, the Screen Shammy can be washed over and over again for hundreds of uses. The Dust-Off Compressed-Gas Duster is also the essential accessory to accompany any CE purchase. The compressed-gas duster effectively blasts dust from any unwanted surface, especially from cooling vents, that quickly become clogged and corroded with dust and lint, which consequently can shorten the life of expensive electronic equipment as the proper airflow needed to cool down internal components is cut-off.Founded in 1953, Falcon Safety Products, Inc. is a privately held corporation headquartered in Central New Jersey.

So, measure the area where you want to place your TV to get an idea of which size would be most practical for you. It's important to remember that most plasma TVs have detachable speakers, so you will need to allow for a few extra inches on either side of where the screen will be.You may well have the option to buy extra slim speakers, which attach directly to the monitor, if you don't want to use your own or an additional sound system, with surround sound. It is important to check that the model TV that you want to purchase has built-in amplifiers, or you will have to purchase or use an external receiver.Once you've ironed out the size and type of sound system you want, you will have to consider the various mounting options that are available. The most common way to mount your new TV is with what is known as flat wall mounts. This is usually the cheapest option and places the plasma monitor almost flat against the wall.

Another popular mounting system for plasma TVs is the Tilt Wall Mounting system. This allows the monitor to tilt away from the wall up to 15?. If you don't want to have the monitor tilted, you can opt for a simple table stand. This is ideal for the smaller monitors, allowing it to be used in boardrooms for video conference calls or in your living room.There are many factors to consider, when buying your plasma TV. However, if you plan carefully, you should enjoy your new home entertainment center for years to come..
