The Christian Business Association is a non-profit organization designed to help Christian business professionals take their lives and their businesses to a higher level. It is our stance that God is looking for Christian business professionals to raise the bar not only in their personal walk, but to do it in the market place as well. We believe God wants His people to become leaders of industry and its our mission to help not only mentor and coach these professionals, but to provide them with an appropriate funding vehicle.

The Christian Business Association (CBA) has set up a tax deductible vehicle for individuals and corporations that want to stand behind small business and entrepreneurs that are in need of investment capital.

Every dollar raised that is designated for the CBA Business Funding Program is specifically set apart for the use of investment capital for thriving business. Our board members; who are made up of successful business owners and corporate officers of major corporations have an extensive background in business development and are familiar in start up phase companies.

If you believe in getting behind young budding and successful entrepreneurs & small business, then we want to encourage you to make a tax deductible donation today!

A note to Christian business owners that are looking for funding or financing:

We have put together some basic information to help you understand the logistics of raising capital and help you better understand that this is a process that takes time and will require you to submit your business plans and proposals as well as be able to meet in person with our board of directors before taking the next of several steps.

We want you to understand that launching a new business requires much skill and preparation. As an entrepreneur we understand that you like many others probably lack the resources to raise capital in order to market your new business ideas; however, this is exactly why we established the Christian Business Associations CBA Business Funding Program.

Startup Financing Stages

Startups are typically in one of three stages, based on a number of startup parameters including who makes up the leadership team, the value proposition, the risk associated with the startup, the customers profiles and engagement, the revenue, and much more. All determine the amount of equity one is able to obtain.

Most start ups are placed into one of the following stages:

• Early Stage- Early stage refers to the initial days of a startup. The company starts off with a business idea, experiments with, and articulates its economic viability. The company establishes its proof-of-concept by demonstrating the technology and getting potential customers on board.

                    Seed Money Round

                    First Round

• Expansion Stage- After the first round of investment, most companies launch their products or services and get a few paying customers. However, these companies need further investment to expand their product line, operations and marketing efforts.

                     Second Round

                     Third Round

                      Bridge Loan

• Liquidation Stage- Companies need money to liquidate their stock so that some investors can cash in their stocks. Companies liquidate stock either through going public, Merger & Acquisition route or through a leveraged buyout. Most of the investment money is required to engage investment bankers and other legal services for the transactions. Leveraged buyouts enable an operating management group to acquire parts of the business (which may be at any stage of development) from either a private or public company.
