Bankrolling The Unbankable: Businesses Find Answers in Database of
Alternative Financing Sources

DENVER -- A database of alternative lenders offers refreshing options to
businesses that cannot secure traditional bank financing. The Financing
Sources Databank features thousands of lenders who finance on
non-traditional and less stringent qualifications. It also allows business
people to search beyond their local, familiar lenders, and access
available capital across the country.

Users enter five basic parameters: type of lender, type of financing,
amount of financing, industry and geographical location. The software
searches the database against those criteria and quickly selects a list of
lenders that fit the user's needs. Each selected profile contains five
screens of information including whether to approach the lender by phone
or mail, what materials to send, expected turn around time, and many other
details.

Every financing source is thoroughly pre-screened before being listed in
the Databank. DataMerge, Inc.'s in-house research team calls each lender
and carefully weeds out brokers pretending to be lenders, firms who charge
large up-front fees, firms who are no longer lending, and a variety of
other illegitimate companies that pose as lenders. This is the most
crucial step in publishing a database of financing sources, as many firms
eagerly take advantage of business people who are not familiar with the
process of getting alternative financing.

The Financing Sources Databank lists venture capital, asset-based lending
and investment banking firms, as well as insurance, pension fund and
leasing companies, and Small Business Investment Companies. Users can
search for every type of debt and equity financing, including venture
capital and start-up financing, and capital for expansion, commercial real
estate, mergers and acquisitions.

The program comes in two versions. The Entrepreneur Version 3.2.4 features
2,500 financing sources and sells for $139. The Professional Version 4.5
features 5,800 financing sources plus mail merge, add/edit, label and
simple report printing capabilities, and sells for $499. Both programs are
available directly from the publisher, DataMerge, Inc.
