Strong Mentorship and Capital Planning for Startups with Steve Replin

Investment decisions aren't just a matter of gut feeling. Business owners must standardize processes and connect data across the whole project lifecycle, especially when the primary goal is to design, construct, and operate efficiently in the long term. With the proper understanding of sourcing funds and capital budgeting techniques, entrepreneurs can evaluate several projects at once and determine which will have the most influence on the organization's value. This helps the owners prioritize activities and capital allotment effectively, ensuring maximum return on their investments.

Having the right people, with hands-on experience can help you achieve a sharp growth pattern and further retention of profits, especially in the era when the market has steadily grown out of traditional business practices. Operating in competitive economies, where great emphasis is laid on laws, rules, and contractual obligations, it is imperative to understand the roadblocks that can destroy your business before it has strengthened its roots. Additionally, the prevailing negative view of the risks involved in investing in startups and early-stage companies discourages banks from funding their initiatives.

Remembering that funds in the form of equity or debt are a limited resource, the critical role of professionals whose experience aligns with spearheading firms on their important journey of sourcing funds is becoming the second most important foundational function behind only the idea that started the firm down the startup path. Steve Replin, a business coach, attorney, and certified public accountant, believes that entrepreneurs who start with the idea that they can do everything on their own can actually stunt the growth of their businesses by barring their startups from the potential of growth by refusing to leverage the expertise of mentors. Following his graduation from NYU, Replin acquired a controlling interest in a small public company, Apache Resources, that had accumulated significant debt and no assets. Within five years of his management, Replin ensured all debts were paid off, and in fact, the company grew to over 2,000 shareholders and built two public subsidiaries.

As the CEO of StartUp Business Pro, he funds businesses throughout the US utilizing Hard Money; and coaches’ startups about strategic planning through his company Fast Track Business Academy. Through this venture, Steve Replin offers stay-at-home business program training to students who aspire to become hard money loan brokers. Since 2015, he has been a Senior Coach at Replin Fast Track Business Coaching.

Bringing extensive experience from his service at high profile companies such as Cherry Hill Capital, Monet Entertainment Group, Barber's Chair Press, and Fashion Arts Fund, Replin helps entrepreneurs plan around the fundraising issue to capitalize on their ventures, developing business, strategic, and marketing plans, as well as with the company's preliminary and possible exit strategies. He is the President and CEO of Palm Tree Partners, which offers asset-based bridge loans in the US, and Ventana Biotech (VNTA), a publicly held financial services company.

For professionals like Replin, who have devoted their entire careers to helping people build businesses and understand the real risks and hazards involved, it is not an overestimation to claim that it is his oversight and advice in this process that entrepreneurs need and which creates a safe hand that all new businesspeople can trust in this startup process.  When their venture is simply too precious, and their dreams are very high, their journey is like a new budding plant in a garden that already has pests and weeds including a multitude of dense and complex plants to throw off their businesses entirely. Within all this thick fog and stress, inexperienced businesspeople must be aware of the tendency to make many significant mistakes.

It is by adding an experienced business mentor to your team who has witnessed failure and success, as has Steve Replin over the years, that you gain wisdom from watching the mistakes of others and of the resultant failures. Each business story is unique and contains lessons that are there for the taking if entrepreneurs are just wise enough to take advantage of this wisdom.
