Hello friends. With you ... V Lately more and more people want to go about their business, build a business. Many have inclinations for this, they want to try themselves in the role of an entrepreneur, but the question arises: "Where can I get money for business?" What if the start-up capital required for the project is simply not there, and it is not possible to earn it in the near future? Is it then that all that remains is to give up the obsession with becoming an entrepreneur and work "for an uncle" all your life?

This problem stops many people, does not allow the project to be completed, but there are also those who are looking for options, looking for opportunities for themselves. It is for the latter that this article will be devoted. Next, I will talk about how you can attract start-up capital to your business, and also mention a few more important and useful points. So let's get started without unnecessary introductions.

Business without start-up capital: truth or myth?

To begin with, aspiring entrepreneurs who do not have enough money to implement their idea are conditionally divided into 2 groups: those who are trying to find money for a business, and those who want to build a business without money. What is the most correct approach?

From the experience of some of my acquaintances, and from personal experience too, I can say with confidence that building a business without investment, although theoretically possible, is extremely problematic and risky. Even if you are a financial genius and you have a brilliant business project, the likelihood that you will be able to implement it with no investment at all, or with minimal start-up capital, is simply negligible. There is a greater chance that the idea will be stolen by better-off financially competitors, and you will have no choice but to leave the market and think about a new project. Thus, building a business without money is highly discouraged.

As for attracting start-up capital to a business, although this process cannot be called simple, it is quite feasible, provided that you are ready to take certain actions to build success, and not just sit on the couch and dream of a director's chair.

Where to get money for business: the best ways to raise capital!

So, here we come to the main and most interesting part of this article - to the direct ways of where you can get money for business. Now I will list 5 options that I am personally familiar with either by my own experience, or from the experience of my friends. At each point I will describe the essence of the method, some features, advantages and disadvantages. So let's get started.

Method # 1: Attract Investors!

An investor is a person with money who is ready to give it to you if he believes that he can get more later. This is how, in a simplified form, you can describe the meaning of this term for an entrepreneur. Quite often, investors invest in new business projects, receiving a share in the future profits of the company. But in order to interest such a person, you need to try, he just won't give you money.

Those investors who invest in startups, i.e. business at the stage of its creation, require the entrepreneur to provide proper arguments and arguments indicating the prospects of the project. I will say right away: if you decide to open another grocery store or a hairdresser - you may not even count on investments, venture investors are not interested in such projects. They need innovative, unusual ideas, capable of bringing colossal income if successful, and not trivial projects, simple to implement, but bringing extremely small income.

If you have promising idea, it was invented by you personally, and you are able to substantiate it, answer all the questions that have arisen, calculate the cost price and guess what the profit will be - you can safely start looking for investors. Where are they, if you please, are these investors found?

1. The easiest way to get investment is ask them from an old acquaintance, friend, relative or acquaintance of an acquaintance. As a rule, it is much easier to achieve a positive result for yourself by acquaintance than with a completely outside person. But what if there are no connections? In fact, everyone has connections, just not everyone knows about it. After all, it is not at all necessary that you personally know the investor, it is enough to assume which of your friends might know the right people. It is through them that you can present your project to the investor, which will significantly increase the chances of success. The main thing is to show all your communication skills and think a little with your head towards which of your friends you can direct your project so that it falls into the right hands.

1. If you find it difficult to find an acquaintance investor - you can use the services of so-called venture funds, i.e. companies professionally engaged in business investment. It will not be difficult to find these companies, it is enough to enter the corresponding query into the search line, and you will immediately receive at least a couple of dozen official websites of these same funds. But the difficulty here is that it is extremely difficult to get the attention of a venture capital fund. You will have to work on drawing up a business plan according to the established model, presenting it correctly, presenting arguments and answering questions from experts - employees of the fund. Only the most thoughtful and promising projects receive funding, so it makes sense to contact several organizations at once in order to increase the chances.

1. You can find an investor in case of emergency and through the Internet, since the modern openness of personal information will make it possible to do this. You can search for potential partners through social networks, various business sites, newspapers, etc. Investors often publish in reputable publications or simply end up in financial news releases. However, finding a person with money on the Internet is not difficult, it is much more difficult to interest him in your project. You will be dealing with a complete stranger who, not only does not know about your entrepreneurial skills, but also cannot fully trust. It is extremely difficult to get him interested and get funding, but it is quite a doable task. Provided that you have a really worthwhile project, you can interest the capital holder.

Now, as for the advantages and disadvantages of attracting investors to your business. Among the advantages: the absence of any risk on your part (you are not obliged to return the money in the event of a project failure), the ability to start a business without your own investments, while not needing funding. Among the disadvantages: the complexity of the process, the need to come up with innovative idea and you will also have to give some of the company's future profits to others. It will be good if you keep 50% of the share in the company, but often investors demand a very decent percentage for their investments.

Method number 2: Make money on the stock exchange!

Many modern American businessmen in the past did not have the start-up capital to get started, and made their first money on the stock exchange. Now this can also be repeated, only this time there is a more innovative option: Forex or the exchange binary options... It is possible to make money here much easier and more than on a traditional stock exchange, but it will still require some effort and a competent approach.

Today I have singled out this method for the reason that I myself am an active trader and I know firsthand the issue of exchange earnings on the Internet. Many say that it is impossible to succeed here, many have lost money, at one point starting to do this, but the main reason for this is not the method of earning, but the attitude of the people themselves. Most of them were looking for easy money on the exchange, they considered it a free option. Of course, they did not succeed, because there was not even minimal preparation, not to mention trading strategy... For more details on what an options exchange is and how to succeed here, you can watch the following video:

To succeed in making money on the exchange and get money for business with it, you need to properly prepare, study the strategy and choose a reliable broker. I recommend starting with an article If you are more interested in Forex, you can read the publication

What are the advantages of making money on the exchange in terms of start-up capital for a novice entrepreneur:

1. It is possible to start with a minimum deposit- only $ 200. I think everyone can afford such an investment, even with small incomes.

1. To make money on the stock exchange, you only need minimal preparation. It is enough to give it only 10-15 hours of your time in total - and you can start with the first profit. Of course, later you will have to study other information, improve yourself, but you can start with minimal knowledge. The main thing is not to start trading without preparation at all.

1. On the exchange you can earn the required amount for the business in the shortest possible time due to the increased profitability of trading. So, a beginner is able to earn 70-80% of the initial deposit per month, and a professional's income can exceed all 250%.

1. Trading brings you not only income, but also a rewarding experience that you can use in your business. After all, it is always useful to be able to analyze the market and predict where the course for a certain asset will go in the future.

1. Having made money on the stock exchange, you will become the sole owner of your company, because you will not attract any investors. This is extremely important and will definitely make itself felt in the future, when the first profit comes in, and you do not have to share it with someone.

As for the disadvantages of exchange earnings for entrepreneurs, they are few, but they are also present. Now I will briefly describe them:

1. You won't be able to earn more than $ 300,000 on the options exchange or Forex in a year because your broker simply won't be able to pay out that much. For this reason, exchange earnings are unlikely to suit people who need colossal business inflows. However, there should be enough money for the development of small or even medium-sized businesses.

1. To get the required starting capital, you will have to wait a bit despite the fact that the earnings are pretty decent. To begin with, you will have to spend at least two weeks on preparation, and then systematically increase the initial deposit. Opening too large positions at the initial stages will not work, so you need to be patient. For example, if you need $ 30,000 to start a business, and start trading with a $ 300 deposit, then you can get to the required mark in about 6 months, taking into account the preparation and the fact that you will not withdraw part of the profit, but constantly build up your deposit and increase the volume of trade transactions.

In general, the options exchange or Forex seems to me to be one of the best ways where to get money for business. Among my former colleagues, there were cases when they earned sufficient capital, after which they went to average, and sometimes even big business... You can familiarize yourself with one of these stories a little later, when I finish listing all the options.

Method number 3: Accumulate the required amount!

If you already have a good source of stable income, and you are ready to wait, you can take the path of least resistance and just accumulate the required amount. But as for me, the advantages of this method are extremely few, but there are enough disadvantages.

Of course, saving money is the easiest way to take start-up capital for a business. You will not have to do anything new, you will not need to share income with the investor. In general, everything seems to be very promising and comfortable, at least for a person with traditional thinking. In fact, there are a number of disadvantages here:

1. It is not always possible to accumulate money for a business project, especially if the source of income is not so great, and the project requires considerable investments.

1. It takes time to accumulate money, but business is not used to waiting. Today you may have an innovative and promising idea that you can implement and achieve success, and after a couple of months the prospects will disappear, or someone else will implement this very idea. Sometimes success in business depends not so much on the deliberation of actions, but on the speed of their implementation.

1. If you just save money, it will gradually decrease in volume due to inflation. Of course, you will still have the same amount of money, but for it you will no longer be able to buy everything you need for a business, because prices, as you know, are constantly growing.

1. Being engaged in hoarding, you will lose all motivation to act, because for a long time you will not realize your dream. Human psychology is arranged in such a way that if you have a certain goal for a long time, but not a step closer to it, it will gradually develop into an unrealizable dream, and you will stop striving to achieve it.

As for me, it makes no sense to engage in useless accumulation, if you can use another option and succeed after a short time. Even if you attract an investor and give him a share of the company's profits, you will be able to receive the remaining income. If you do not like working in partnership with an investor, you can use this very income to implement a new business idea.

Method number 4: Get a loan!

If you look at this objectively, then a loan seems to be a good way to start, having received initial capital without selling a stake in the company. But personally, for some reason, I was always rejected by such a prospect. For me personally, financial independence is important, a person's unencumbered debt of any kind, which he may or may not pay off. In my worldview, a person should spend only the money that he earned himself, or else negotiate with other people about financing on partnership terms, under which he does not have any obligations. But again, I will clarify that this is exclusively my personal opinion, and from the objective point of view, loans can be used.

Getting a loan from a novice entrepreneur may face certain difficulties, because banks do not give loans to everyone. You should at least have an impeccable credit history and a stable source of income. Alternatively, you can pledge property or use government concessional lending programs.

Among the advantages of a loan for a business is the fact that you receive start-up capital in a relatively short time, and you are not required to give anyone a share in the business. As for the shortcomings, let's dwell in more detail here:

1. Any loan must be repaid, and if your business idea turns out to be unprofitable, then you will find yourself in an extremely difficult financial situation, which is called a debt pit in the common people. In this case, you will have to forget about business and take care of how to pay the interest on the loan.

1. In addition to the loan itself, you will have to pay interest, which sometimes turn out to be much more than the profitability of the business at the initial stages. At the same time, it would be good to achieve a delay in payments for at least six months, but this privilege is not provided to everyone.

1. The amount of money you can get is limited, and it depends on what your current source of income is. Even government programs to support small businesses do not always help, and it is extremely difficult to get involved in them. Without a stable source of income, you may simply be denied a loan.

Thus, loans are not the most the best way start building a business, but not the worst. There are much more promising ways where to get money for a business, but if you cannot use them for some reason, you can take a loan from a bank. The recommendation is from me personally: use this method as a last resort, if there are no other options left.

Method number 5: Selling property!

If you have movable or immovable property that you can easily do without, or all sorts of antiques, precious metals or securities - all this can be sold. This way you will receive start-up capital for the business without attracting investors and without imposing unnecessary obligations on repayment of the loan.

Of course, at the same time, you must have property for the amount necessary to open your business. In addition, this very property should not be in demand, because it is extremely reckless to sell your own apartment in order to rent an office and live there. Among the advantages of this method: quick receipt of the necessary Money, the absence of any kind of obligations on your part and the need to transfer part of the company's profits to someone.

But it should also be understood that the sale of property is the very last thing for a person, unless, of course, he absolutely does not need this very property. The money from the sale may not be enough to cover the costs of the company, and from a purely psychological point of view, this is rather uncomfortable for a person.

History of success : How to attract money for big business?

Several years ago I met this man by accident. He was the owner of a small shop computer technology where I decided to buy professional equipment for exchange trading. During the negotiations, we got to talking with him, and he decided to tell me about his work.

As it turned out, Stas is a hereditary entrepreneur, but his part of the inheritance left after his late father was only enough for a small business. Despite the fact that Stas had experience in this area and dedication, he could not compete with more large companies, so the business stood still. There was a profit, and for the average person it was considerable, but Stas wanted more, he wanted to grow. He tried to succeed on his own, and not live off the inheritance of a successful father, but so far he has not seen the possibilities for this.

Then I decided to offer him to do exchange earnings, and this idea seemed to him quite promising. At that time, he himself had earned here for many years in a row, so Stas perfectly saw how much you can get on trading if you approach trading wisely and competently. This is exactly what he did when I provided him with the study material.

I will not go into details about how he traded and how he achieved the first results, this is detailed in his success story at the link above. I can only say that in a few years of work he became a dollar millionaire, showing all his talents on the stock exchange. Stas worked with several brokers at once, which is why he managed to earn such a significant amount. Now he has already stopped trading, and as always dreamed of, went into big business. Just a couple of weeks ago, it became known to me that his company (the Matrix supermarket chain) had started work and is now actively gaining momentum. I am sure that with the makings that Stas has, he will certainly fulfill all his plans. It remains only to wish him good luck in his business and new achievements.

To the end!

So, now you know several ways where to get money for business. I hope that today's material was useful to you, and you can achieve your goal. As you can see, it is quite possible to get start-up capital for starting a business, you can either earn it yourself or get funding. The main thing is to approach this issue as seriously as possible, set a goal for yourself and do everything in your power to achieve it.

All success and prosperous life!

Yours sincerely, Victor Samoilov!

The number of starting businessmen is steadily increasing every year. An increase in their number has a positive effect on economic indicators the country as a whole and meets the ever-growing needs of the population.

Financial support from the state contributes to the emergence of new small and medium-sized businesses. The authorities of a particular region are trying to introduce methods of assistance: various benefits, subsidies, as well as material payments. How do you get this kind of support? Let's figure it out.

Which of the entrepreneurs can count on help from the state?

The state mainly provides financial support to small and medium-sized business owners. To find out if your company belongs to this category, you should pay attention to the number of employees and the value of the annual turnover. The following types of enterprises can count on money from the state:

• start-up business(up to 15 people in the state with an annual turnover of up to 120 million rubles);
• small business(up to 100 people in the state with an annual turnover of up to 800 million rubles);
• medium business(up to 250 people in the state with an annual turnover of up to 2 billion rubles).

To receive assistance, companies must meet the following requirements:

• the duration of existence from the moment of opening - no more than 2 years;
• the company is registered with the tax office;
• SMEs are not taxed.

Important: the chances of financing are much higher for businessmen who have social benefits and also own a social or export-oriented business.

Remember that the state provides support to entrepreneurs, whose field of activity is among the priority ones. To apply for gratuitous assistance, a businessman must work in one of the following areas:

• Manufacturing of consumer goods.
• Popular directions of folk art.
• Rural and ecological tourism offers.
• Housing and communal services.
• Agro-industrial department.
• The field of science and technology, as well as innovation.

How to get help from the state for the development of small business in 2019?

The main advantage of receiving such a subsidy is that it is free of charge and does not need to be returned after a certain time. The state benefits from this, as a new small business appears on the economic map, providing citizens with jobs, and competition with existing companies increases, which helps to improve quality and stabilize prices.

But together with the conclusion of the subsidy agreement, the entrepreneur agrees to fulfill some obligations. The main one is to provide detailed reporting.

Within 3 months from the date of receipt of financial funds from the state, a businessman is obliged to submit a report to the Employment Center with documents on the use of the subsidy. As confirmation, commodity or fiscal checks, receipts, paid payment orders and other documents can be provided. The financial report must be consistent with the paragraph of the business plan, which indicates the purpose of obtaining capital.

Important: if a business person cannot provide confirmation, he is obliged to return the subsidiary funds to the state in full.

Also, the terms of the drawn up agreement assume that the activities of the financed small business must last at least one year from the date of opening. This excludes the possibility of cooperation with one-day firms.

Help can be obtained from many authorities and organizations with the necessary authority. Here are some of them:

• City administration... The Department economic development provides information on the types of financial support for small businesses.
• Chamber of Commerce and Industry... In this institution, they provide assistance in consulting on business, marketing, legal law, it helps to take part in exhibitions.
• Entrepreneurship Support Fund... Based on the results of the mandatory assessment of the submitted project, the organization allocates finances for the activities of a small enterprise.
• Business incubator... This organization is engaged in infrastructural support for the ideas of entrepreneurs at all stages of development, starting from the moment of opening.
• Venture fund... He focuses mainly on innovative projects, then invests money in their activities.
• Employment center.

Interesting: if your business project is socially or economically beneficial for the state, you can receive not only money for its implementation, but also free training, the right to take part in exhibitions, etc.

After contacting the above authorities, you will receive a list of required documents... Here are the papers on this list:

1. Passport and TIN of the entrepreneur.
2. Insurance certificate (SNILS).
3. A certificate from the accounting department of the last place of official employment, which contains information about the salary three months before the end of the work.
4. Education certificate.
5. Application of a program participant for receiving financial support from the state (in a specially approved form).
6. A ready-made business plan.

Money from the Employment Center

The most common way for entrepreneurs to get help is by contacting the Employment Center. How is this procedure going?

The first step is to register at the Employment Center and obtain unemployed status. This is a prerequisite, since the state allocation of funds is required only for those entrepreneurs who are registered as unemployed citizens. To do this, you need to have the following documents with you:

• passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• work book;
• family status document;
• education document.

Then you need to draw up a business plan. with a detailed description of the project, targeted distribution of funds and an indication of the payback period. The third step is to register a business as an individual entrepreneur.

The regional commission examines the package of documents within 60 days. If a positive decision is made, an agreement will be concluded between the applicant and the Employment Center, and the funds will be transferred to the recipient's account. The Commission may decide to compensate only certain expenses, for example, registration and opening of a small business. If the applicant receives a notice of rejection, he can try again.

Newbie Business Grants

This type of allocation of funds from the state involves helping novice businessmen to start a business and those who are engaged in entrepreneurial activity no more than two years. The following organizations have the authority to distribute grants:

• Department of Economic Development.
• Small and medium business support funds.
• Alliances created by entrepreneurs.

A prerequisite for obtaining a grant is the activity of a small enterprise in one of the priority sectors indicated above.

According to state legislation, payments are not received by companies that produce wine and vodka products, tobacco products, luxury goods, work with real estate or engage in gambling activities.

Remember that the allocated money is channeled to cover 30 to 50% of the total project cost. The businessman should look for the remaining finances for the development of the business on his own. Don't be afraid of investment, it might be.

The entrepreneur must provide the following papers:

• Documents confirming the absence of other sources of financial support.
• Certificate of registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC and a business plan.
• Bank statement on the amount of your own finances.
• Certificate of positive credit history.

The Industry Commission then decides on the disbursement of funds. The maximum amount of a monetary grant is 500 thousand rubles (in Moscow and the region - up to 5 million rubles).

The priority for the state is the unemployed, young entrepreneurs, former military personnel, families with young children, etc.

Subsidization program

Government plans to subsidize small businesses are implemented at different administrative levels. Therefore, they can be systematized according to the scale and amount of allocated funds:

1. Federal programs... They are implemented nationwide, and they are also characterized by a large amount of allocated money for financial support for the opening and development of SMEs. Hallmark is also the fact that such programs work mainly with large-scale business projects, whose owners are already conducting commercial activities.
2. Regional programs... They work in the territories of the administrative regions and manage the regional or district budget. The purpose of such programs is to develop the infrastructure of an entire region.
3. Local programs... The scale of implementation is working with city or regional entrepreneurs. Subsidies are limited to small amounts of funding.

The amount of assistance received, the form of its provision, as well as the list of necessary documents for processing an application depend on the specifics of the state program. The larger the scale of the program, the higher the competition and the more stringent the selection rules. A small business owner should consider this.

Concessional lending

Categories of small and medium-sized commercial entrepreneurs who are unable to receive financial support from the state can apply for preferential loans. Many banks provide such loans on simplified terms. As mentioned, the probability of opening a loan with a favorable interest rate is higher for those who are engaged in priority activities for the state.

Advice: for all questions you are interested in regarding assistance, you can contact banking institutions or credit communities directly, as they also have credit programs for novice businessmen.

The applicant receives a loan as a one-time cash payment in the amount of 50 million to 1 billion rubles... After the conclusion of the contract, the preferential program is valid for 3 years. Investments and investments in the project are also a prerequisite. own funds businessman. Their number is determined as follows:

• 20% if the loan amount is more than RUB 500 million or if the loan is planned to be repaid from the future income expected after the start of the business project.
• There are no restrictions if funds are allocated for other investment plans.

The interest rate for use fluctuates depending on the format of the enterprise. This is 10% per annum for medium-sized enterprises and 11-11.8% for small ones.

What can the money from the state be used for?

As mentioned above, the subsidy process is a donation of funds to help start up and run a business well. Concessional lending and other assistance programs also have simplified terms and a reduced interest rate. At the same time, the use of financial support from the state is accompanied by documentary reports to confirm the intended purpose. The allocated money can be spent on the following:

• Payment for the lease of a place or a plot of land (no more than 20% of the principal amount is allocated to cover these costs).
• Replenishment of working capital.
• Equipping workplaces.
• Purchase of equipment for production (purchased machines cannot be sold or exchanged for three years).
• Purchase Supplies(the same rules apply - no more than 20% of the funds received).
• Works related to renovation and opening.
• Intangible assets.

The entrepreneur draws up an annual report, which indicates what exactly the received subsidiary income was spent on. Also, it is necessary to submit certificates and receipts to the control authorities.

Intangible Small Business Support Options

Nowadays, the state is ready to help start-up businessmen of small and medium-sized enterprises not only by increasing capital. There are several other forms of support:

1. Opportunity free training ... Why in the early years of activity, many entrepreneurs, faced with problems, leave the business? They simply do not have necessary knowledge about running your own business. Such educational skills (such as how to lead) help in development, but are expensive, so not everyone can acquire them. The state provides start-up businessmen with the opportunity to study free of charge on courses, as well as attend various seminars and lectures. The applicant is obliged to submit the appropriate documents to the necessary authorities: paid invoices, certificates of completion of training or concluded contracts. The payment will cover half of the costs, but for an amount not exceeding 40 thousand rubles per year.
2. Reduction of rent... Another support option is discounts on the cost of renting premises where offices or production are located. Remember that you can only get such a discount if the building is municipal property, and the lease is concluded for a period of more than 5 years. Every year the preferential rate increases (from 40 to 80% of the rent), and for the subsequent period the entrepreneur pays the full rate. A prerequisite is competitive selection to determine a worthy candidate. The winner will receive additional assistance to pay for communications.
3. Compensation for participation in exhibitions... To popularize and further develop, small business owners can take advantage of subsidies to participate in national or international exhibitions... Based on the selection results, the state can help pay the costs of registration, space rental, transportation of exhibits, accommodation, organization and translation services. If the state aid amount does not exceed 150 thousand per year, you can pay up to half of the costs. Prerequisites for receiving compensation for a small business: a statement, an agreement with the organizers and a report on the work performed.

Summing up

The advantage of financial support programs is the ability to increase the capital of small companies. Since the state is interested in the development of small enterprises, the likelihood of receiving financial assistance is constantly growing. This is a good start.

On the other hand, the conclusion of an agreement with the relevant government bodies obliges entrepreneurs to submit detailed reports and monitor the targeted use of funds. Therefore, every businessman should study the features of existing support programs and the requirements for them. Then he will be able to make the most of the help and fulfill his obligations.

Good day! One of the very first questions that an entrepreneur has to solve when dealing with money. More precisely, as a rule, with their absence.

In fact, this is a very common occurrence, there is a business idea, desire, aspiration, perhaps even a business plan has been written, but there is no money to carry it out.

Where to find start-up capital

Let's look at the options for where to find money for your business:

1. Save yourself if you are;
2. Sell ​​movable or immovable property;
3. Borrow from friends;
4. Find an investor;

Accumulate start-up capital

Perhaps this is the best option, the only and most important disadvantage of this method ... TIME. It will take a long period of time to save up the required amount, especially if you work for a salary, it can take from 3 to 5 years.

I have an author's method of how to save money for my business within 1 year. In any case, this is exactly how I launched my business. If anyone is interested this technique, you can write to me in my group of social networks VK “ Business Secrets for a Newbie ”.

Selling an apartment or car

This is the second most important option, if you have a normal car or apartment, then you can get a fairly large amount of money almost immediately and already realize your business.

Here you only risk your property, and even if things do not go as you expected, you will not owe anything to anyone and your conscience will be clear.

Borrow money for business from friends

To be honest not best idea, but if there is no other option, then you can use it. Unless, of course, you have friends with significant savings, which will be enough to start your own business.

But if suddenly, something goes wrong and you lose money, then most likely you will ruin relations with your acquaintances and, in addition to money, you will also lose friends. As is clear, you will have to give money in any case, but in the eyes of a person, your reputation will already be damaged.

Find an investor

If you do not have your own money, but have a great business idea, then you can try to find an investor for your project. Here you will have to share your business, as a rule, the investor will take 50% of your business.

Finding an investor is one of the safest ways to start a business. The only problem is that it is quite difficult to find an investor.

An investor will not invest money if you are just going to open a toy store or cafeteria. You must have a business idea that will appeal to a future investor.

Also, you must draw up a clear idea of ​​your own, where all the little things of the upcoming enterprise will be spelled out with real numbers and income. no one will be involved in an unprofitable project.

Investors are usually approached by people who want to establish some kind of production. It is almost impossible to attract an investor to trade or services.

Get a loan for a business in a bank

It is very risky to take out a loan for your business project in a bank, since you will immediately bear the monetary burden that you will have to drag from the very beginning of the business.

Especially for beginners, statistics - about 90% of all business undertakings related to a bank loan fail. And in the end, you simply will not be able to pull out the financial burden and will be left without a business and with an outstanding loan.

You can believe my experience, I know a lot of such entrepreneurs who started a business with credit money and went out of business.

Procedure state registration An individual entrepreneur or LLC has now become even easier, if you have not yet registered your business, prepare documents for registration completely free of charge without leaving your home through the online service: Registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC is free for 15 minutes. All documents comply with the current legislation of the Russian Federation.

Personal savings

It takes self-discipline and patience to accumulate enough money. These qualities will also be needed in running a business. With 15 thousand income per month, you can save 5 thousand rubles - 60 thousand rubles will accumulate in one year. With an income of 20 thousand and a monthly amount of savings of 10 thousand, in a year you will save 120 thousand rubles. This is already enough for the implementation of a small project.

Find a partner among your circle of acquaintances

Borrowing a decent amount from friends, relatives or acquaintances is very difficult, and sometimes impossible. Make a list of people who may have the necessary finances, call them suggesting a business meeting. For those who are interested, offer a percentage of the profits in your business for borrowed funds.

In addition to the money for starting a small business, you have a chance to find a partner with the necessary personal qualities and fresh ideas.

Business partner from outside

If there is no suitable candidate among your acquaintances with the required amount of money, then you need to look among businessmen who are ready to invest in new projects. How to reach a potential investor?

Place your ad on internet sites, newspapers free classifieds in the headings about business cooperation. They place advertisements for the sale and purchase of businesses, which ensures views only to a certain circle of people. You will find that many investors are interested in your project.

People who want to invest money, vacant premises or land. A significant result is gaining connections with other entrepreneurs. It is important to have a ready-made concept, a business plan and the ability to convincingly present the material.

Union of Entrepreneurs

There are alliances of entrepreneurs created by real businessmen to jointly solve different tasks... They are designed to regulate certain areas of entrepreneurship, support the participants, finding ways to solve the obstacles and difficulties that have arisen. Membership in such associations promises certain bonuses.

You can contact local or all-Russian unions with a request to provide money for starting a small business. The union's management will consider the idea, assessing its prospects and profitability.

Possible conditions for the provision of money:

• a loan at a low interest rate;
• percentage of income;
• partnership, etc.

If your business plan convinces the management of this organization, then you will be provided with funds from the union's own funds.

Government subsidies

Government subsidy- one of the options

Looking for an answer where to get money to start a business, few consider the option of support from the state. However, in state program there are many projects for small business development and support for aspiring entrepreneurs.

State on certain conditions provides a subsidy for starting a business. For example, the employment center allocates funds for their own business. The amount depends on the region - from 90 thousand rubles.

The subsidy is not a loan - it is a gratuitous amount that does not require repayment.

Different regions have their own programs for the issuance of subsidies and grants to start-up entrepreneurs, and it is quite possible to win them. Just study all the existing options and their conditions.

Business loan

The amount received from previous sources is not always enough, then contact the bank. This option will help you get large amounts, but the interest for using borrowed funds is high. Turn to lenders to develop a guaranteed profitable and fast payback business idea. There are several options for credit programs for entrepreneurs, both for starting new projects and for developing existing ones.

Russian banks provide loans for starting a business in the presence of a competent business plan, registration, income certificates and other documents. Examples of loan programs in various banks:

• Sberbank of Russia: up to 3 million rubles, 30% down payment, 18.5% per annum;
• VTB 24 Investment loan (with collateral): from 850 thousand rubles, 14.5%, for 10 years;
• Alfa-Bank (without collateral): up to 6 million rubles, rate of 19% per annum;
• Promsvyazbank (without collateral): up to 1 million rubles, rate 17-21% per annum.

It is not easy to take a large loan without collateral, since banks are interested in the return of borrowed funds. A loan with collateral (apartment, house, car, land, etc.) of the property is easier to obtain, and its conditions are more loyal. But in this case, you risk your own property.

If you have not been able to get a positive response on a business loan, do not despair. You can get a small consumer loan at any bank - this is a quick procedure. You need to collect a minimum package of documents, consisting of a passport, 2-NDFL identification code... There is no need to provide a business plan and go through exhausting approval procedures. The disadvantage of consumer loans is high rates and more serious penalties for delays.
