A reader asked:
We have established a company in Los Angeles, CA that requires funding, we are searching for either of these in this order, or all 3: A) A SBA or Bank loan of $400,000 (Shareholders have excellent credit, but no more collateral, however the shareholders have invested quite a lot in the company] 7a – 5 year. B) An active partner, preferable someone that will take the job as the COO and hire the rest of the staff required, but is willing to place at least $ 80K of direct equity investment to float the company until point A or C is resolved. C) An Investor with at least $ 400K with an equity ownership in the company.By any chance would you know of a site that sort of matches individuals and companies? (Point B)
