]]> Comment on Bootstrapping with an SBA Loan by comelague http://blog.nuevaventures.com/2009/09/21/bootstrapping-with-an-sba-loan/#comment-46 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 17:12:08 +0000 http://blog.nuevaventures.com/?p=35#comment-46 Thanks Dadi! It was a lot of work to get this in place but it was the right type of funding needed for the business. It’s important to make that distinction. Often, entrepreneurs go down a path with venture and angel investment when that is not really what they need. Here it was clearly a cash flow timing issue that needed to be solved.

We’ll be happy to consider this company’s later funding needs, if they for example are doing extensive product development with high risk and venture funding might be more appropriate.

I also found the folks at Wells Fargo to be great to work with. Despite the amount of time it took and complexity of paperwork, it was a good opportunity to clean house and be truly ready should the need for venture funding arise.

That is certainly the case for us at Nueva Ventures and so we treat it no differently than our own money!
