	The second installment of the Money Matters series Financing Your New or Existing Business is here. "What Is Your Entrepreneurial Profile?" helps you understand who you are, because, after all, you are who the investor or angel or bank is investing in. There’s a helpful questionnaire that will guide you through the process and help you address many of the same issues you need to discuss in your company’s business plan. Knowing who you are as an entrepreneur will help you organize yourself and better present your business opportunity to an investor.
	Opening an indoor child’s business has become one of the hottest business opportunities out there. According to Franchise for Sale, a leader in the online franchise advertising industry, indoor facilities - and especially those based around inflatable play attractions - are the second most sought after business opportunity, bested only by the Subway franchise. In this issue, we are featuring a very unique business opportunity. The Hero’s Birthday Experience is a turnkey children's business opportunity whose mission it is to make the world a better place one child, one family, one community at a time. Instead of a franchise, Hero’s offers a more flexible option, a license. Read their recent press release here!
	One of the most critical components to your indoor or outdoor business is insurance. Liability insurance can represent a significant portion of your operating expenses. If you have been following along in the last few issues of the Ninja News, you may have gotten wind of a new insurance solution called the Inflatable Industry Purchasing Group. This program should be available to you through your current provider or you can participate in the program through CSI Insurance Agency. The Inflatable Industry Purchasing Group is a non-profit, strategic alliance that leverages the combined purchasing power and best practices in the inflatable industry. That is to say, that participation in the IIPG plan allows you to aggregate your buying power by creating a large group of liability insurance buyers. Like buying in volume, buying in a large aggregate group allows you to buy at a significant discount. We asked John Carr to keep us posted on developments of this new program.

As you can see, there is lots of new information to feast on so 'bon apetit'!
