Getting Your Business Going Without Bank Loans


When your company is starting out, it is important to begin financing right away.  Starting your business out is one of the trickiest things you can do.  With the economy the way it is, it is becoming more and more difficult to obtain start up cash.  Here are a few things you can do to get going.
First, if you have no money whatsoever, sell anything and everything you possess.  Anything you do not need that will not contribute to your company should be sold.  Say you have an extra car or a boat, get rid of it.  You don’t need your thousand dollar watch if selling it can help your company.  If your company pays off like you hope, you can buy those things again later.
 
Another way you can obtain some funds to get your business going is to take out the equity on your house.  While it is not ideal, it is a quick and easy way to obtain some early financing for your business.  If you do go down this road, make sure to set some of the money aside to help make your monthly payments on the money you just took out.  You do not want to get in over your head when it comes to your house.
 
Another way to help obtain funds would be to borrow from people you know.  Friends, family, and acquaintances looking to make an investment into something are a good way to get a small amount of startup money.  Many times if a company is too new or too small, banks will be more reluctant to give them a loan.  It is important to still get any agreement in writing as to avoid any possible conflict later.
