Holding company deal structure

Hi there! I'm looking to start a holding company and want to know the most effective methods of attracting capital without relying on SBA funding. Also, how can I structure a permanent equity model with investors without an exit plan after acquisition?

You need the investors more than they need you at this stage, I would encourage you to be very transparent about your objectives, and be open to the feedback you receive from the investors you talk to. Some investors love the permanent equity model (look at Brent Beshore's success) but they have to know about it on the front end. Let the practical business concerns of the investors drive the ultimate structure of your vehicle. When you've proven yourself, you can be more aggressive setting the terms. Good luck!
