Whether a new start up or a well established business you may want to raise some finance for specific projects, expansion or diversifying the business. Here are a few ideas of how you can raise finance.
- Raise funds yourself by using a 0% APR business credit card. If you feel driven and certain on achieving a specific goal for your business you should be able to invest with your own capital. Investing your own capital gives other partners and lenders more confidence in your committent.
- Use the Crowdfunding to create a campaign, this not only a highly successful way of raising funds but can also raise the interest of investors and potential customers. Crowdfunding is a good way to raising your profile while raising cash.
- Apply for a business loan
- Apply for a grant from the Government. There are a number of grants available with terms and conditions applied to them but they are good way of raising capital.
- Find an investor who is equally passion about your business or just believes in your product or service. There are many investors looking for the next big thing so seek an Angel Investor through on the UK Angel Investment Network
- Family and friends can be a source of finance if they are believe in you but you need to draw up some legal documentation.
