Business Financing for Start-Up SEO Firms

10. August 2011

You’re planning on opening up a search engine optimization firm? Wow. If you make the right moves in that business you can become a millionaire in a pretty short period of time. The demand for quality SEO has increased exponentially in the past five years from a few select companies to just about everyone who wants to be successful in the world of E-commerce. You’ve probably been doing research on this for a while, maybe have some cool new technology, and have already tested the techniques you’re going to use for your clients. You’re ready to go. How much money do you have to get started with? 

If you’re thinking that you’re going to open up a SEO firm with your laptop and some auto-submission software and be an overnight success, think again. The opportunity to do that was available a decade ago and those who seized it are now living comfortably in beachfront property on the Pacific Coast. To take a piece of the SEO market share today you need to have some clout, something new in the way of technology, and some serious finance. You’ll need a few investors and business financing designed for start-up firms like yours. 

There are a number of lenders that will provide you financing for a start-up SEO firm provided you can show them a solid business plan and a reason to believe that you will be successful in a now highly-competitive field. What’s different about you? Why do you think you are deserving of a small business loan from a lender that is getting hundreds of requests every day from unemployed folks across the nation looking to try their hands in internet marketing of some kind? 

It may take applying to quite a few different lenders before you get one to give you the business financing you need to get your new business off the ground. In the meantime, you could start out with the laptop and auto-submission software, but you’ll be kicking yourself when you lose that first client just as you start to make a few dollars. The minute you start building his internet presence there will be an army of your competitors telling him they can do better than what you are doing. They will be right. Get the financing first and then open your SEO firm. That way you can actually help your clients attain the page rank you tell them you can get them.
