In her new guide to alternative funding for small business owners, Karlene Sinclair-Robinson shows how to alleviate the financial woes of today’s business world by accessing capital like big businesses do.

Denver, CO, and Alexandria, VA – In her new release, The Small Business Owner’s Guide to Alternative Funding, published by Outskirts Press, veteran business consultant Karlene Sinclair-Robinson shares her years of experience with small business owners to educate them in new avenues of alternative funding and in the basic business strategies sometimes overlooked by even the most seasoned small business owner.

Subtitled What the Small Business Owner MUST Know to Get through These Financial Times, Sinclair-Robinson’s book chronicles how the financial mess of Wall Street has trickled down to the world of small businesses and turned things upside down for them financially. New government regulations have done nothing to increase the availability of capital for these entities.

Using the principles and resources in this guide, many small businesses that have been crippled by these financial times can now explore alternative forms of funding so that they can not only stay open, but also gain access to innovative sources of much needed working capital and add new clients and even hire more employees. This knowledge will also help prevent otherwise healthy businesses from similar financial woes in the future.

The book leads all small business owners through the myriad of financial options available to them so they can understand not only how to access both start up and expansion capital or credit, but also know when to do so. Peer-to-peer lending, microloans, factoring, accounts receivable financing and merchant cash advances are only some of the avenues explained and explored.

Many small business owners have only been familiar with the workings of their day-to-day conventional banking institutions. Sinclair-Robinson’s book provides needed solutions for them to step out of their box, discard their fears, and gain the additional knowledge big businesses use to access capital.

The Small Business Owner’s Guide to Alternative Funding is available on-line in paperback through Amazon and Barnes and Noble and at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks for a maximum trade discount in quantities of ten or more.
