The best way to have financing is to get clients, but there are times when, with or without clients, SMEs and the self-employed in our country need specific financial injections.
And that’s when entrepreneurs have to put aside hard and pure work to get that injection.
The times when they need financing
Whether in the beginning, in the confirmation periods or in the growth periods, there are always various stages in which freelancers and SMEs need external financial support.
1.- Constitution of the company
Any entrepreneur would like to start a company that can self-finance with their activity from the first moment, but when it comes down to it, this circumstance hardly ever occurs.
2.- Buy or expand assets
Perhaps we exaggerate when we buy the story that the average company is born in a garage, but the reality is not very different, since, originally, any company tries to spend the least amount of money possible and usually starts in a very simple location and with equally modest equipment.
However, if all goes well, the SME or the self-employed in question will need to reinforce these aspects of the company and expand their assets or even buy the ones they have rented. And for this they will end up needing, again, external financing.
3.- Job creation
However, these jobs are not always created when there is a surplus of cash: they can be generated due to an increase in the volume of activity, the arrival of a large client (which will take time to pay) or a future bet, thus the entrepreneur will have to resort to financing from outside.
4.- Growth and new businesses
In the ‘startups’ sector, there is a term that has been increasingly extended to the business environment as a whole: the minimum viable product (MVP), which defines the basic product or service that the SME offers to your customers to start and that , little by little, is improving.
For this reason, there are many companies that, if they have started their activity in a modest way, over time improve their services, increase them or even create new business lines, so that economic injection, wherever it comes from, will become necessary.
5.- Internationalization
When a firm needs to go global, they need to be injected .
