Link-O-Rama for 7/1/11

•    For those of you looking for outside cash to fund a start up, here is a little Angel Investor 101
•    This is pretty basic, but it’s also right on the money in terms of a guideline for putting an investor pitch together. 
•    Most of the info I highlight is about growing your business, but not everybody makes it.  If you are looking at closing up shop – read this first.  I really like the point about knowing what parts of your business are profitable/unprofitable.  If you don’t know that, I think there is still time to resuscitate. 
•    Corporation or LLC – this piece offers some high level advice on what to consider.  For most firms, taxes play the biggest role, so start with your accountant.  Of course, they’ll just tell you to talk to your attorney.
•    Iowa stays in the top 10 of USA Today’s best states for business, though we dropped a bit.
•    Looking for a small business loan, and having trouble coming up with one?  You’re not alone, deal flow is way down.   If you have had the door slammed in your face, try a community bank or Iowa MicroLoan as a great option as well.
