    How to Fund Your Startup Without Losing Equity

    By EDC Blogging Team | Archive, Business | Comments are Closed | 14 November, 2019 | 0

    Avoid Sacrificing Your Business Shares to Get Up and Running

    Startup businesses need operating capital to get themselves off the ground. Many owners end up selling a slice of their business in order to do just this, but it doesn’t have to be this way. There are options to raise the capital you need without sacrificing equity in your company. From startup business loans in Ventura County, CA to business credit, check out how to fund your startup without losing equity.

    Loans

    If you have good consumer credit, take advantage of it to get the startup going. A good credit score goes a long way in helping you find the right loan, so make sure yours is as good as can be. As always, pay bills on time and in full. Never borrow beyond what you can pay back. There are many loans that startups can have access to, and they often don’t come from banks.

     Private investors and alternative lenders

    Private investors and alternative lenders may grant credit lines, but be aware that almost all of these programs require two years of tax returns, which must show a profit. They are often easy to qualify for and are a great solution when looking to fund your startup without selling parts of it off.

    Crowdfunding

    What is your business’s mission? Would donors feel connected to your product or service? If so, then crowdfunding could work. Make sure that your funding pitch is well-written, informative and as eye-catching as possible. Spread the word about the crowdfunder through social media channels to inspire donations of all sizes.

    Finding the right capital doesn’t have to be difficult. For more guidance on growing your own business, contact the Economic Development Collaborative. Conveniently located in Camarillo, California, we’re here to help.
