Debt vs. Equity - The "Anti-Equity Advisor" w. Tom Klausen

Tom Klausen is the "Anti-Equity Advisor". He makes the point that too many small and medium-sized business owners think that selling equity is the simplest and best way to raise capital.

Tom says this could not be further from the truth. Tom is the founder and CEO of True Viking Finance, an advisory and lending company that makes use of debt financing tools that allow owners to grow their businesses while retaining full equity! Growing businesses face many hurdles and the last thing you need as an owner of a growing business is someone coming in and diluting your equity; it’s much easier to pay off debt than to get rid of a difficult investing partner. 

Tom shares examples of the strategies that he uses to solve cash flow and working capital problems, his approach to relationship building, and everything else you didn’t know you needed to know about the benefits of debt!
