ForumsFinancing Tips

i have some startup capital but only about $6000. i do not have a business partner.

Is it possible to break the $40K total you need into separate categories and pursue funding for each individually (as though that portion was the only funding you needed)? For example, if you need $5K for materials from three different suppliers, you might be able to get terms from each for those purchases. (You're also more likely to be able to leverage your GE contract will someone like that rather than the bank.) Depending on the type of building you are trying to acquire and the improvements you intend to make, there are several ways to handle just the facility portion of the investment. Same with any equipment (all of which can be security, unless it already has a lein on it). The point is, finding one entity to loan you $40K for a new operation they don't understand is difficult -- it may be much easier to find eight different entities that will each spot you $5K for the part of the operation they do understand. Best of luck.
