Sources of funding for businesses

[arrain3786]

The Small Business Administration is the largest federal funding source for small business. The SBA directly issues some SBA loans, but commercial lenders actually administer the large majority of SBA loans. ... State and local programs also provide funding options for small businesses, including both loans and grants.

The main sources of funding are retained earnings, debt capital, and equity capital. Companies use retained earnings from business operations to expand or distribute dividends to their shareholders. Businesses raise funds by borrowing debt privately from a bank or by going public (issuing debt securities)

Using your savings for the business is the best. Or you could make use of some help from family members and friends to make up for the investment or capital. Taking loans to start a business Is never a good idea

if you think of starting a business and you don't have money then I don't see the need for you to go and get the loan and start up a business in but if you have a collateral you can use it to get a loan and if the business collapse they will just take your property and you don't I have to pay anyone money.

you can actually get a loan from a bank and start up a business that you are very sure the business will succeed but if you are not sure of the business it is not advisable for you to get a loan and start up a business but before you get the loan you need to have a collateral in place for the money.

Someone who doesn't want a loan, should actually have the capital in hand or borrow from a friend or a relative. He or she can sorce out for capital by selling his properties. Aside that, if you actually don't have capital in hand, you should consider borrowing from a bank.

Open up a go fund me account and as people to help you with what they can. You can also as family and friends to help you out. You can even ask for a loan from them. But I prefer to seek loan from banks.

family and friends are the best set of people you can get money from and start up a business but sometimes a lot of people do not like getting money and started a business from family members because family members can decide to take that business as a family business

There are different ways to source for capital to start a new business. The best way is through personal savings, this implies that you save money from your monthly income and use it to finance your business. Other sources includes money from family and friends, sourcing for investors or partnership, etc.

 

[Defaith]

You can start a business with your savings or with the help of some investors, before thinking of a business, you as the CEO of the company must have gathered some amount of money, starting a business with loan is not really advisable because sometimes negative things you don't think of might happen in business then you have a bigger problem because you have to pay the loan and you have to find a way to make your business stand again

In various cases, these sources of funds are used. They are categorized according to time period, ownership and control, and their generation source.

Do you mean starting a business without loans yet you don't have money/capital to start. I guess your family and some of the willing friends can do that. Otherwise with investors, you'll have to sell your business ideas well.

Networking should really be the first option people with a startup should consider before any other, and the reasons are these: it will allow you to put out your business in a less formal and a very organic fashion. Going out and meeting people within the local startup and community of investors can be a great way of stumbling into someone who will pick interest in your idea or what you have already set up but are lacking funds to grow. Gatherings like these are good for promoting your business.
