Business Funding



Money is a big worry when we starting a business, no matter it's a small business or it's a big one. And I wonder who wants to lend thousands of dollars to a business that doesn’t even have revenue yet? By thinking about that since I don’t have a business started up yet, I likely have to borrow money based on my personal finances.

while LÜG-ER 's products haven't been fully developed yet and they will be launched year by year, so the first year will be low revenue. With these considerations in mind, I would go for self-funding, family and friend, and later on will be equity and debt. For first year, because most of the year, LÜG-ER is gonna spend time to finish the permanent RFID tag and building airport RFID baggage tracking system. The revenue can be really low, so I have talked to my parents and friends about this business and got their approve they will help me out with around $250,000, me personal having $30,000 and the rest will go with loans by using business card to fill out the rest. From the second year, after successfully get permanent RFID tags to clients and apply the airport RFID baggage tracking system for airline, either it's in testing or officially put into operation, I think I will go for equipment financing since we need to build up the equipment, factory, and materials,etc. While the company having a good amount of asset, I might consider about the equity since this plan is developed a huge system and need step by step building and developing.

Matthew Tolentino

This week guest speaker, Matthew Tolentino who graduated from Tacoma and work as Assistant Professor within the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. He's founder of Intelligent Platform & Architecture (IPA) and developed technology which helped Tacoma Fire Department problem. The interesting is he had no idea with their problem at first, he just went straight and ask "what is your problem?" Somehow it's a good way to find out. Compare to Erik, I felt like Mathew has more engineering side in him more than business, but he knows the core of the entrepreneurship. He developed his product in term to solve tracking chemical spills and the “lost firefighter” problem. And when he talked about RFID systems and bread crumb trail so they can calculate the situation inside the building before the firefighters going into by transition every firefighter into a mobile sensing platform. By that, the department can get the information location, floor-plan, and vita...

The first thing I heard from him is really surprise me which is if I have a business idea, start it, even though I don't know what it's gonna be, where it's gonna go. I'm a person who always think a lot before doing anything, if I don't know where I go, I'm not gonna start anything, you could say that's I'm hesitating a lot. And after that, Erik shared more about his life, how he maintains his money flow and keep the base for his main business by he and his wife doing different things beside the main side x side business which is teaching, writing book,...The money from it is lower than the main one, but it seems less peak up and down, so when things happened for the main business, he still has a back up p...
