How to Use Other People's Money for Your Business
By Matthew Lesko
"Money is a terrible master but an excellent servant." - P.T. Barnum
John Ray, the famous 17th century author, was known to have written the aphorism, "Money begets money." In the business world, I'm sure you've also heard the saying, "You've got to have money to make money."
There are countless sources of cash, but by far, the best one to utilize for your business is . other people's money.
Perhaps one of the greatest "secrets" of the richest people in the world is summed up in those 3 words: Other People's Money - OPM for short. If you took a cross-section of the most affluent business people, you'll find that the majority of them launched their fortunes using OPM. In the next few minutes, I will show you how you can obtain other people's money for your business. What you do with the money, however, is up to you - but if I were you, I'd take P.T. Barnum's advice, and make money your servant so that you, too, you can make your own fortune.
The use of other people's money has become such an ethical and acceptable mainstay in business because one can leverage other people's money to your benefit.
For example, you can leverage borrowed money into high-yield investment programs that could generate a return that would then pay back your lender and line your pockets as well. Or you can leverage borrowed money into asset-producing or income-generating real property. Or you can simply borrow money to start or grow your business.
The benefits to using OPM are obvious:
1) When you use other people's money, especially within the parameters of a corporation, your debt is assigned to your business, and your debtors can make no claims against your personal finances; and 2) the infusion of cash allows you to have money to make money for your business. Of course, even with the proliferation of lending institutions and venture capitalists, it is often difficult to obtain other people's money, Well, since Wall Street Journal has kindly called me a man who "finds answers in unlikely places," I'm going to reveal an unlikely place where you can obtain other people's money. This one is available to all, and yet very few ever take advantage of it. It's the federal government. In fact, I've even coined a phrase for this source of money: I call it "other taxpayers' money" - OTM for short. The federal government has millions of dollars of taxpayers' money allocated to funding businesses like yours and mine.
Here are a few great sources of OTM:
1) If you want to get training and/or money to start your own business, millions of dollars are available at www.sba.com. They'll also show you how to find alternative sources of financing, how to protect your invention, how to sell your idea, how to license your product, how to write legal contracts, how to sell overseas, and how to buy business equipment.
2) If you want money to export and sell products to foreign countries, you can obtain it from the Export-Import Bank of the United States at www.exim.gov. Or you can go to The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) at www.opic.gov.
3) If you want to obtain government contracts, then access the Procurement Assistance Offices online. Here, you'll learn how to draw up a business plan that'll get your business noticed. They can match the product or service you're selling with the appropriate agency, and then help you market to them more effectively. You can find these programs at www.dla.mil.
4) If you need venture capital for a new or existing business, then you need to go online and access the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC). These are privately-organized and privately-managed investment firms that are licensed by the Small Business Administration (SBA). With their own capital and with funds borrowed at favorable rates through the federal government, SBICs provide venture capital to small independent businesses, both new and established. You can access them at www.sba.gov/INV.
5) If you need free help or want to learn how to do your own personal or business taxes? All you have to do is access www.irs.ustreas.gov/prod/bus_info-bus_help.html.
You can also obtain a free 26-page book on the Internet called The Credit Process: A Guide for Small Business Owners. It's written for small business owners seeking financing for the first time. It covers sources and types of financing; funding resources; preparation of a business plan; preparation of loan applications; and action to take if a loan is denied. It also contains an especially useful and comprehensive glossary of finance terms, agencies, and fair lending regulations.

He is regularly featured as the nation's top expert on government freebies on TV programs such as Larry King, Oprah, David Letterman, Jay Leno, the Today Show and Good Morning America. His latest book, "Free Money for Entrepreneurs on the Internet" identifies hundreds of little-known sources of free government money for "net-repreneurs" and reveals the secret formula for easily obtaining the money for your business.
Free Money for Entrepreneurs on the Internet
The World's Richest Source of Cash -- and How You Can Tap Into It to Start or Grow Your Business"
By Matthew Lesko
How much money do you need for your business - and when do you need it?
As you read every word of this article, you will discover quickly how to mine hidden deposits of cash that have been waiting to be unearthed. The price of admission into this all-you-can-grab buffet of money is..free. It'll cost you nothing.
If you are among the 73% of Americans who own a business or are looking to start a business, chances are, you possess one of the following challenges:
You've got a great business idea. Maybe you've even come up with a few million-dollar ideas that you hope to implement one day when you drum up some start-up cash. You find yourself fantasizing about what could be possible if only you had the money.
You already have a business - but it's not growing the way you want it to. Everyone tells you, "You need money to make money" but you don't have the funds to pour into your business because you're juggling your own personal finances.
You have a business - and it's already profitable. But you need money to expand your operations and reach new markets. And you're searching for money sources that are within easy reach.
Let's face it. In the business world, we all need money.
In the next few minutes, I'll reveal to you the world's richest source of cash - with an almost inexhaustible supply of funds - that will be willing to give you the money you need for your business.
Here's the most amazing part: The money will be given to you free and clear - you don't have to pay it back
The World's Richest Source of Cash -- and How You Can Tap Into It to Start or Grow Your Business"
By Matthew Lesko (continued from page 1)
I'm sure you can't wait to find out just what the world's richest source of cash is. I'll reveal it to you in a moment.
But first, I want to tell you an amazing story.
More Bizarre than Fiction.
A "mega-store" had a super sale. It didn't just give 20% or 30% discounts to its customers - no, it didn't just give them half-off of everything either. Instead, everything in the store - 350 billion dollars' worth of merchandise - was being given away for free! The amazing thing was that only a few people came to grab the free goodies. Why?
Because the store never spent a single dime to advertise the sale - so hardly anyone knew about it.
What's even more peculiar is that the sale is still in progress - and still, there are only a few takers.
By now I'm sure your next question is, "Where is this 'mega-store' and what's the fastest way I can get there?"
Here's the scoop:
The "mega-store" and the world's richest source of cash are one and the same entity. It is the U.S. Government.
The "merchandise" that is being given away for free is money.
Now, how can you get your hands on this money? Quite frankly, the money is as close as your telephone. At the other end of your phone line waits $350 billion worth of taxpayers' dollars that you can tap into whenever you want. But you have to know exactly how to word your request in a strategically-timed phone call or letter. It's simpler than you think -- and I'll give you the details later.
I'm sure you've heard about free government money before. You may have skeptically viewed ads on late-night TV, or perhaps even received unsolicited mail selling listings of government agencies that routinely give out cash to ordinary citizens. But you probably said to yourself, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
I want you to suspend your skepticism for a moment because I'm going to show you how all the information you've read elsewhere probably did you a great disservice because it gave you only half-truths. I'm also going to show you the right way to claim your share of government funds.
Paul Newman - yes, the famous actor - received free money from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help sell his brand of salad dressing overseas.
You need to get this fact straight:
There is nothing bogus or speculative about getting free money from the government. The U.S. Government is certainly real. Being the repository of 37% of our gross national product, the Federal treasury is the world's richest source of cash. The existence of free money grants is undeniable. Even the super rich like Ross Perot, Donald Trump and Fortune 500 companies use the numerous taxpayer-funded programs to help grow their businesses.
However, because these money programs are neither advertised nor generally publicized, very few people know about them. The few who are aware of them lack the specialized knowledge of how to successfully obtain the free money.
Simply knowing which government offices customarily give out grants is not enough. Not everyone who applies for cash grants will just automatically receive them. Many have tried and failed.
The real trick is in knowing how to ask for the money. It requires ingenuity - and I've developed a completely legal but diabolical secret formula that works every time. When you implement this formula, you cannot fail to get the government to give you the money with which to fund your business.
Lee and Cecelia Pfeiffer's dream was to open a daycare center. Using my secret formula, not only did they get over $200,000 to start a business.they even got free books and posters to decorate the children's play area.
How did I discover the secret formula?
I'm Matthew Lesko. For the past 25 years, I have specialized in uncovering obscure government programs that most ordinary citizens know nothing about.
Mark Joyner, CEO of Aesop.com, and author of "1001 Killer Internet Marketing Tactics" has this to say about me:
"Matthew Lesko is the most knowledgeable information broker I know, who is singularly gifted in helping business people put the government's cash resources to work specifically for their own respective businesses. He is a consultant to Fortune 500 companies, and has shown millions how to take back their tax money in free government programs.
"Matthew has mastered the surefire techniques to get government agencies to send you money.
"Matthew is not only a New York Times syndicated columnist, but also the author of two New York Times best-sellers. He is regularly featured as the nation's top expert on government freebies on TV programs such as Larry King, Oprah, David Letterman, Jay Leno, the Today Show and Good Morning America.
Matthew's book, "Free Money for Entrepreneurs on the Internet" is an unparalleled resource that identifies the prime sources of free money that are available to all, but known to only a few. Matthew is the only one I know who can teach you proven strategies for getting your hands on government money for your business.
