By long term financing, I'll give examples over 5 year amortizations -- common and preferred shares, bonds, debentures, loans from shareholders.  Bank financing usually doesn't exceed 5 years for companies.

good idea , but be careful, 540 does not appear too good to go for financing others moreover you may not have proper appraisal techniques and real data about the entity who may  like to have your cash , you may lend into difficult situation , \n\nhowever ,for detailed examination you may discuss and disclose to your financial advisor or Bank in strictest confidentiality.

The best source of financing for new small businesses is friends and family.  No such thing as free money, and there is almost nothing available in the private investment or loan market for a brand new business that does not yet have positive cash flow or valuable intellectual property.  \n\nIf you do borrow from friends and family, just be sure to do it in a way that is fair for all parties and be sure to document your agreement in a written contract.  Business deals that go sour between friends and family members can get really ugly, and can permanently damage a relationship that is more valuable than your business.  Protect the personal relationship using smart preventive business and legal measures to avoid disputes.

If it is a equity linked fund (i.e more then 60% in equity ) the long term tax (>1 year) is 0% currently but if is a debt fund you will have to pay long term tax. stt does not apply for MF as i know only for equity trading.

You need a business plan.  Investors and lenders will want to know how you intend to make money.  They will want to see all the details, from where you will be located, how much rent you will pay, how many employees you will have, how much will you pay them, how much will employee benefits and insurance cost, where will you get the raw materials for your widgets, how much will the raw materials cost, what are your projected sales, projected cost of goods sold, tax liabilities, interest expense, return on investement, marketing plan, etc.\n\nIf you can prepare a 5-year plan, working out all the details and showing that you know how you will make money and how much money based on projected sales, then people may have the confidence in you to invest.

Mezzanine financing is a hybrid of debt and equity financing. It is generally used to finance the expansion of existing companies. Basically, it is debt capital, with current repayment requirements, but with rights to convert to an ownership or equity interest in a company. It is generally subordinated to debt provided by senior lenders (such as a bank) and is referred to as subordinated debt. Mezzanine financing is advantageous in that, on the balance sheet of a company, it is treated like equity and may make it easier to obtain standard bank financing. \n\nMezzanine financing, being a hybrid of debt and equity financing, is generally not collateralized. Often, there is a repayment obligation with mezzanine financing. It may also be riskier than debt financing and therefore is not generally available with standard commercial lenders. Mezzanine financing is typically found with venture capital companies and/or alternative lending institutions seeking a higher rate of return. Most companies providing mezzanine financing are looking for returns of 20% or higher.

Depends on where you are. \n\nSee here in the philippines the only loaning thing here is for small business units. They gove loans up to 5m or if your business plan is really good it can be up to 10m...\n\nSometimes the most important thing in your business plan or study is the ROI and stability.
