Invest in a Business with Your Self-Directed IRA
Posted by Entrust Sacramento on Mon, Nov 09, 2009
The current financial crisis isn’t just negatively affecting consumers seeking mortgage loans, credit cards, and credit lines. Small, medium-sized, and existing business are also having a hard time securing financing for such things as expansion and operations because banks are still not lending. There are viable business opportunities out there that require capital that you can provide through your
self-directed IRA while growing your retirement account. Opportunities also include individuals seeking startup capital to open a franchise business, which usually has a proven business model. Investing in such businesses could yield the returns that you are seeking and are not available with the traditional forms of investments.
But if you do not have a self-directed retirement account, you are most likely restricted in the
types of investments that you can make. If you are seeking true diversification of your retirement investment portfolio, making loans might be worthwhile exploring. For more information on how your self-directed IRA would work in just such an investment, call Entrust at (916) 509-7271.
