How to start a business with not much $$$
By Robin Low
Finding large funds is hard
Yet every project needs money
How to fund it yourself?
1) Pre-payment
• Collect $$$ before making product.
2. Sell cheaper alternatives to raise funds.
• Sell an item related, but lower cost that you can afford. Use profits to slowly buy actual products
3. Profit Ploughback
• Start small, use profits generated to buy more and scale up.
4. Consignment
• If you are getting products, it is possible to sell first and pay manufacturer after the sale.
5. Leasing
If you need own equipment, you may consider leasing instead of purchase, especially if there is a maintenance built in lease package.
6. Trade Credit
