Using Your Home Equity for Business Startup:

Why Use this Product Line

for starting your business

You Know You Have the Talent . . .
plus the experience and know-how to start your own business. But you need some capital. Why not look at the equity in your home equity as a place to start?

You can use your Home Equity Line of Credit as a "Business Starter".

Use it as working capital to:

·  finance your ideas
·  acquire a new computer
·  pay for vendor services
·  maintain a positive cash flow
·  purchase important equipment
·  launch a business web site

And while you're at it:

·  renovate your home office
·  consolidate your personal bills
·  you decide: ________________

Your Home Equity Line lets you become the banker.

Simply advance yourself the capital you need . . . when you need it.

You will pay interest only on the amount you borrow, which interest cost may be fully deducted as a business expense. Consult your tax advisor for information.

Now wouldn't this be a smart way to get your business off the ground. You control the funds ... as you need ... when you need ... without the hassle of convincing the bank or others to extend you funds.

And once your business get going, use your positive cash flow to pay down the account. Just keep your equity line open as an emergency account when times get slow.

Now!, that's smart financial management.
