Most of the books available today that target would-be small-business owners focus on putting together the business plan and only mention the various categories for raising start-up capital. Lacy takes the opposite approach. He contrasts and provides detailed profiles of government, bank, and alternative funding sources, and he recommends approaching a combination of potential funders. He also includes franchising as an option for going into business for oneself. He offers an 'action plan' for approaching funding sources, but he also includes the elements of a 'winning' business plan. More than a third of the book is devoted to a state-by-state listing of funding agencies and organizations that can provide assistance or guidance. Lacy has 25 years of banking experience. In 1989, working with the SBA and a community college, he helped develop a program to help businesses seek funding. That experience showed Lacy there was a market for this information, and he created the Money Institute seminar, on which this book is based.

Using other people s money is becoming an increasingly common practice. In fact, you have probably used other people s money at some point without even realizing it. Even Donald Trump used other people's money to finance his investments. Now, with this book, you too can knowingly use other people's money to increase your wealth. Using other people s money, or OPM, can be a risky strategy, but Using Other's People Money to Get Rich will show you how to downplay the risks, avoid the common pitfalls, and minimize your costs. You will learn about various sources of OPM, including lending institutions, venture capitalists, angel investors, the federal government, investment banks, savings and loan associations, insurance companies, and credit unions. You will also learn how to meet the source's investment criteria, which will help ensure that you acquire OPM for your needs. In addition, you will become knowledgeable about the benefits of using OPM, debt and equity transactions, performing due diligence and research, the short- and long-term costs, and securities laws. You will also learn how to use OPM to pay off debts and invest in paper assets, the stock market, rental properties, and part-time, home-based, or Web-based businesses. We spent hours interviewing investors to learn how they used OPM to make money, and here, we provide you with all the secrets, techniques, and strategies you need to know in order to make millions.
