Session 9 How to Finance Your Business
Question:
"Are there any recommendations you would have for somebody looking to make a financial request to a financial institution?"
Rod banks
Executive Vice President, City National bank
Topics covered in this video:
Business loans, financing, banking, honesty
Transcript:
One of the best things a new entrepreneur can do is to think of their banker as a financial partner. Building a relationship with the bank, with the institution, with the individual is going to be the key. I would find someone who is really interested in your business: who will take the time, who will come out and take the tour and who will ask all the appropriate questions. Because if you think about it, this is the individual who is going to be your representative back to the bank to talk about your business.
Now on your end you should invest the proper time to build the relationship with that banker. Get to know them. Find out how long they have been with the bank, find out about their career and make sure that you stay in contact and build a relationship over time. And the last piece of advice I'd offer is that no matter what the information might be about your company, always share it. bankers want to know as much as they can about your business. They don't like surprises. If you have bad news they would much rather you deliver it as opposed to having the bank hear about it second hand. So good communication with your banker will be one of the best pieces of advice I could give anybody starting a business.

Session 9 How to Finance Your Business
Question:
"Raising start-up money is one of the great hurdles in starting a business. Would you have any recommendations or some basic do's and don'ts as to how people should go about this great challenge?"
Rod banks
Executive Vice President, City National bank
Topics covered in this video:
Starting a business, financing, loans, writing a business plan
Transcript:
First off, before you begin to think about getting your start-up money together, you need to have a business plan. And once you put the business plan together it will help you to determine how much money you need to start your business. Once you determine the amount, then you've got to decide: where is the best place to get it? In today's world it is very difficult to go to a commercial bank--the typical bank you see on the street-- for a start-up business type of loan.
A lot of first time entrepreneurs will start off by using their own personal savings or look to a friend or a relative to see if they can get a friendly partner in with them. Some people will look at putting a lien to some degree on their home. Because of the credit card boom, a lot of people today will take credit card solicitations that come out. And it's perfectly okay to take one of these low interest rate credit card offers if you manage it in a very responsible manner.

WHO IS BOB CHAPMAN?
Mr. Chapman is 72 years old. He was born in Boston, MA and attended Northeastern University majoring in business management. He spent three years in the U. S. Army Counterintelligence, mostly in Europe. He speaks German and French and is conversant in Spanish. He lived in Europe for six years, off and on, three years in Africa, a year in Canada and a year in the Bahamas.
Mr. Chapman became a stockbroker in 1960 and retired in 1988. For 18 of those years he owned his own brokerage firm. He was probably the largest gold and silver stockbroker in the world during that period. When he retired he had over 6,000 clients.
From 1962 through 1976 he specialized in South African gold shares. He and his family lived in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) and Johannesburg, South Africa from 1970 to 1973. During that time he did a great deal of further study into the South African mining industry.
Mr. Chapman belonged to The Traders Association for 25 years. He did all his own trading. During his South African years some was done directly through Johannesburg, but 95% was done through London brokerage firms. Hence, he has extensive contacts, both in London and on the Continent.
Starting in 1967 Mr. Chapman began writing articles on business, finance, economics and politics having been printed and reprinted over the years in over 200 publications. He owned and wrote the Gary Allen Report, which had 30,000 subscribers. He currently is owner and editor of The International Forecaster, a compendium of information on business, finance, economics and social and political issues worldwide, which reaches 10,000 investors and brokers monthly directly, and parts of his publication are picked up by 60 different websites weekly exposing his ideas to over 10 million investors a week.
In 1976, after the Soweto riots, Mr. Chapman began buying North American shares exclusively for his clients. Up to that point only a handful of American and Canadian issues interested him, due to the high dividends the South African shares had paid out over the years. Between 1976 and 1988 his business surged from 1,000 to 6,000 clients, so the bulk of his business ended up being Vancouver Stock Exchange issues. For this reason he is very conversant with the quality of management, geologists, properties and traders on todays North American scene. He is well known.
From 1976 to present he has spoke and given workshops at over 200 business conferences worldwide, and has been on radio and TV hundreds of times. Until his retirement he was always judged by the attendees to be one of the top three speakers and never once was lower than first in workshops due to his vast knowledge of the mining business and his grasp of worldwide financial markets and political scenes.
In June of 1991, at the request of business associates, and due to retirement boredom, he began writing the International Forecaster.
