In order to determine the amount of capital that a company needs to get started, an entrepreneur must determine the minimum set of essential resources. Some needs are more critical than others. The first thing an entrepreneur should do is asses what resources are crucial for the company’s success. The good thing about many of the businesses we suggest is they have a low cost of entry. One of the mistakes people make is that because a particular business may have a low cost of entry, they dont treat it like a real business. They either don't set enough money aside to build it, work month-to-month, or they purchase items they get excited about but they haven't evaluated if it meets their business objectives or more importantly if it is in their budget? Most small businesses are bootstrapped! Bootstrapping clears away the clutter and makes you focus single-mindedly on the customer, which is what any successful entrepreneur needs to do anyway. It compels you to be creative, and it's an acid test for figuring out whether you've got a real business or just a plausible-sounding business plan. But bootstrapping is a safety net, too, because if you wind up with limited sales, few customers, and no profit after a year, well, at least all you've lost is time and a limited amount of money. Most people who have even lost money have found that learning the process of being an entrepreneur, attaining self improvement and running a business was invaluable! Despite the tumultuous and unpredictable state of today's economy, entrepreneurs and start ups still have plenty of ways to have funds to start their businesses. This is another reason why you might want to consider having partners in your business. It is shared leverage and shared expenses. Here are ways to finance your new business - Bank - Going to your local community bank. Community banks, the antithesis of all those huge financial institutions that are merging and acquiring themselves into the deal-making stratosphere, offer the best (and maybe the only) chance for many small or young companies to start building a banking relationship. While the small banks may have fewer products than the giants do, their advantage to entrepreneurs is their flexibility. To locate possible lenders in your region, contact the Independent Bankers Association of America, which can provide leads to more than 5,000 community banks. You can visit the association's Web site, call the group at 800-422-8439, or reach it by E-mail Social Lending - There are a number of social loan sites that lessen the paperwork hassles attached to applying for a small business loan at a traditional bank. They match people who have money with people that need money. Self Funding - Take a set amount of money (You and Partners) and place the funds in a separate checking account. At the same time you might want to consider getting a credit card that links to that account. Sell Assets -Asset sales to relatives or friends can offer a neat and relatively simple alternative. A creative method might even be placing assets into the company and your company sells one or more assets (which could run the gamut from computer equipment to real estate) to someone you know and trust; he or she then leases those assets back to the business at a price that seems fair to both of you. Your friend gets the tax deduction and regular income stream; your company gets a onetime infusion of capital and, presumably, better leasing terms than it would have received if it had been dealing with an independent financier. Best of all, your capital structure remains clean. Micro loans - These loans typically range in size from hundreds of dollars to the low six figures. They make so much sense for start-ups and struggling small companies that it's practically un-American to say anything bad about them. Reports from the field suggest that microlending activity is slowing down though. "Microlenders have been bailing out on us left and right," is the blunt assessment of Hedy Ratner, copresident of the Women's Business Development Center, in Chicago.
