The good news is that you can have a variety of ways to fund it. You can use a combination of methods and of course, some will be better than others due to risk and future commitments. Funding can even affect your new business\u2019 financial success.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Key Factors Funding New Businesses:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Small Business Association estimates that <\/span><b>600,000<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> new U.S. businesses open each year<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New microbusinesses may need around $3,000 as startup capital, while the amount needed falls between $2-6K for most home-based franchises<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2021 the top 3 states to start a small business were Montana, South Dakota and <a href=\"https:\/\/fundingzest.com\/payday-loans\/payday-loans-in-florida\/\">Florida<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have 3 major options for funding your new business including: self-funding, investors and loans.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<h2>Getting New Business Funding<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re considering launching a new business you may want to consider doing it in one of 2021&#8217;s 10 Best States to Start a Small Business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When starting a new business one of the things that can help its success is where you open that business.

This step of figuring where the money will come from is ultra-important in preparing to open your new business. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First figure out how much money you will need through funding. Make a list of every expense possible and add a 15-20% cushion for unexpected costs. If you\u2019re buying a franchise, the franchiser will most likely want you to do as well as possible so will supply an exhaustive list of all foreseeable startup costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, seek out and use the resources of local organizations and the SBA (Small Business Association). If possible, network and talk with companies doing the same thing but in other states or markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Options for Funding your New Enterprise<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You Could Self-Fund Your Start-up<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you know how much you\u2019ll need so it\u2019s time to think about where it\u2019s going to come from. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps you\u2019ve won the lottery! If not, it&#8217;s more likely you\u2019ve thought about how to fund your business for quite a while. Maybe you began saving early so you have enough to get going. That\u2019s fantastic!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-funding can give you full autonomy. You get to call the shots without input from others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reality is that in today\u2019s business climate many new business owners aren\u2019t able to completely self-fund and look elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on your situation, dipping into savings or 401 (k) might be too risky and expensive due to early-use fees and penalties. Also, if you\u2019ve reserved those funds for an emergency, education, retirement, etc looking elsewhere for your funding makes sense.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find Yourself an Investor or Partner<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If self-funding is out of the question or only gets you part way there then\u00a0 you could borrow from family and friends but there are inherent relationship risks with going this route.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for investors or partners is an option. Again the SBA may be able to give you pointers on finding investors. Check out SBIC loans. Schools and other businesses in the community may be able to help you find interested partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obtaining venture capitol from investors has it\u2019s good points and it\u2019s not so good. You\u2019ll get your money but usually you give up some ownership and control of your business. This investor may want to play a role in your company and on a day-to-day way. You need to think about how that will affect the business you want to grow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having an experience partner or investor could help you grow the business more quickly. They may ask for a seat on your board of directors (if applicable), an equity-only arrangement or they want more active involvement. They may demand some control over direction and focus in order to protect and grow their investment. A big risk here is that your business may not end up being exactly what you envisioned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Find and Work With Venture Capital Funding<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several steps on the way to obtaining venture capital to fund you new business. Follow these 5 steps and you&#8217;re off to a good start.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find Investors Who Fund Startups\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may find an individual who invests or a tradition firm offering venture capital. You want a reputable company and one with a track record for funding startups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Your Business Plan Ready for Funding<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A comprehensive business plan will be required. Seek help if you&#8217;ve never done one of these before. Savvy investors know what their looking for. In fact, they may be willing to share exactly what information they will need from you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due Diligence Review is Required<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investors want to be assured that you&#8217;re a good risk and will want to know who will be managing the company, the market you&#8217;ll be targeting, your products and\/or services on offer, whether you&#8217;re in compliance and your financial documents to date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terms Their Willing to Offer\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can take some negotiating to hammer out the details of funding amount, involvement in your company and other requirements for moving forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their Investment Lands in Your Bank<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike a personal loan, often venture capital funds arrive in &#8217;rounds&#8217;. This means that as you meet agreed upon company milestones, more capital lands in your bank.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crowdfunding for Your New Venture<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make your funding possible with crowdfunding where lots of people invest smaller amounts to bring a business to life! Crowdfunders are unique \u2018investors\u2019 because they don\u2019t\u2019 get part of your business, control or any financial return.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What they do get is some kind of \u2018gift\u2019 in return that thanks them for their help in getting your business off the ground. The gift often comes in the form of one of the products produced thanks to your support or other perks. They could get to meet you, the owner, or get free \u2018coffee\u2019 or whatever your service is for life!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crowdfunding participants love being able to say I helped make that happen J. As a business owner this is a no-risk option. You keep control of your business, you typically don\u2019t have to pay back the crowd funders and you have a built-in fan base for once you launch your product\/business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Can a Small Business Loans Work for Me?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A small business loan could be the answer if you don\u2019t have enough savings and you\u2019re set on keeping control of your business. Before applying for this type of loan prepare a comprehensive business plan and a full account of expected expenses. In addition, be ready to show a projected finance schedule for your business that includes the next 5 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven\u2019t done this work then lenders get concerned that you haven\u2019t given this enough thought. It makes you look like you wouldn\u2019t be a good lending risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With your plans and other materials in hand reach out to credit unions, banks and the SBA to apply for your loan. The SBA could agree to guarantees your loan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Word of caution: Interest rates and terms can vary hugely. The difference in a percentage point of additional years added to a loan could mean hundreds or even thousands more paid in interest. That additional interest could make it harder for you to pay back your loan. This could hurt the financial success of your new business. So if you are approved, don\u2019t just take an offered loan without doing your homework.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve had no luck at your bank, credit union, or the SBA try a broker lender, like <a href=\"https:\/\/fundingzest.com\">Funding Zest<\/a>, for a personal or <a href=\"https:\/\/fundingzest.com\/payday-loans\/\">payday loan<\/a>. The application process is 100% online, you get an instant onscreen decision and you could have the money in your bank within hours or the next business day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Bottom Line:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Starting a new business is exciting and takes a lot of prep-work in terms of knowing costs and how you&#8217;re going to fund it. Look at all your options. Find the best fit for your vision or dreams. Avoid funding options that won&#8217;t put you in financial straights and\/or give you the amount of control you want in your business.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s exciting to start your own business.
