Wellesley, MA—Gary Patterson, CEO of FiscalDoctor™ (www.fiscaldoctor.com), was recently a featured panelist at the Merrimack Valley Venture Forum. Patterson discussed alternative financing options as part of a program designed to help early stage companies explore both traditional and non-traditional sources of funding.
Patterson presented three options, including examples of license one sector, factor receivables/contracts and combined vendor and customer support. In looking at these options, Patterson provided suggestions as to how to decide which option is the best fit. He said a CEO should ask his or her self a series of questions: 1) Why is this a great opportunity? 2) Why are we building this company? 3) How do we fund the next two quarters? and, 4) Where are we financially?
