Kora Sadler & Associates works with niche funding sources located throughout the United States and Canada.  Most businesses have unusual funding needs that cannot be addressed by the commercial banks. These are businesses that either do not meet the credit standards of the banks or where there is reputational risk so the traditional lenders/banks will not fund such borrowers. 

Kora Sadler & Associates  introduces special situation financing to any given opportunity. Businesses considered for funding need to have the capability of penetrating or creating global markets.

Kora Sadler & Associates have Private Investors that can provide seed capital, but more importantly, experience, contacts, marketing and financial advice, customers and business development expertise, pointers on the importance of protecting your intellectual property, hiring and team building, and the guidance to make your business the success you want it to be sooner. If you have built successful businesses in the past, then you know that building the team to make it work is critical.

Criteria we favor include:

• A compelling and achievable strategy for capturing a significant market share.
• A market opportunity sufficiently large (several hundred million) to create a business with revenues of at least $50 MM after five years.
• A desire and need for advice and coaching.
• Multiple exit strategies for the Investors.

We accept only electronic submissions to include a brief, (not more than two page) Executive Summary. 

We will ask you for a Power Point presentation later.
