1. One way to find out would be to go to someone who launched a business (the best time to find store owners in their stores, for example, is around 10:00 AM Tuesdays) and ask them how they got their startup capital. Before I got into business with you, I'd need to know how honest you were and how good of a money manager you were. I'd also want to know how much cash you are capable of saving up and where it had been coming from. Some people, lacking contacts who trust them to the degree that they'd loan them money, start businesses with their own savings. Unsecured loans such as cash advances on credit cards are the next best thing. If you're looking to get cash from someone else to go into business with you, and you haven't demonstrated the ability to consistently save up cash yourself for your own business venture, I'd say you were an accident looking for a place to happen. Believe in your dream enough to save up what you need, and others will eventually follow and join in the example that you as a leader set.
2. 1. Family; 2. Banks = 2yr. - 5yr. Commercial Loan, or Interest Only Loan, or Revolving Line of Credit. However, most of these require that you have been in business for 3 years and have been profitable most of the time and that you have have a Marketing Plan; 3. Venture Capitalists, 4. Investors. The last two do not necessarily care how long you have been in business but do want to see a good product and a well thought out Marketing Plan showing them how they will get paid back; 5. Hard Money.
3. You could raise some money yourself, legally of course, by doing the following http://bigboi007.editboard.com Im using it to pay off some tuition and get a new car. Im in college and i can do it. It's fairly simple, just give it a month or so. ( I got responses within hours)
