Start-up Business Financing

• Financing your business through savings. If you are leaving a lucrative job to start a business, you may be able to stash away some money before you leave.
• If that's not an option, consider borrowing. You can borrow from banks, venture capital firms - anyone who'll offer you funding at a reasonable interest rate.
  For starting your business and getting it financed you need to have a business plan - a calculation of how much you will need, how you plan to spend it and how much you will have to sell to be profitable. Take your plan to your potential lenders. Remember that financial investors in start-up ventures generally focus on the potential for substantial gains from the rapid appreciation of the value of the new venture. Realization of such gains comes with the equally high risk of failure in a competitive marketplace.
  
  Financial investors in new ventures present different profiles. The angel investors invest to promote the “early stage” or “seed stage” of a business whereas venture capitalists invests because their primary business is to finance new companies. Once you get the money, you can refocus on starting the business - with one caveat: Keep an eye on your expenses at all times and make sure you have enough for the long run, not just for the next few days.
