Giving up a regular 9–5 job with a monthly pay check to start your own business is never easy, especially in current economic conditions. Getting laid off is even worse because it creates more pressure and often manifests negative feelings in your mind.
That being said, the fact that you’ve made up your mind to trade in your blue or white collars for being your own boss is a great positive step in itself. But, running your own business comes with its own set of pressures and concerns that will keep you up at night. The most common and the biggest concern is raising money to fund and run your business. The economy being the shape that it is in makes it even harder to get financed for a new venture, and digging into your savings does not make sense.
Still, there is money out there to be picked. All you need to do is research to get to the right source, negotiate hard and be ready for rejections. If you keep at it long enough and hard enough, you will find it.
Having a detailed and thorough business plan is the first step to realizing your dreams. No investor will put their money in a business that is not well thought out. On the contrary, for an investor to have faith in your business, they need to have faith in you. Your business plan should reflect your passion, your belief in your idea, your knowledge in the area of your business, and your commitment to make it work. So, before you approach a potential source of funding, make sure that you are armed with a rock-solid plan and unshakeable confidence in yourself.
The next step is to identify a potential source where your funding could come from. The possible sources available could be bank loans, loans from friends and family, venture capital, private-equity funds, government programs, angel investors, credit cards, etc. Research your options and zero down on the most suitable option for your business model and requirements. It wouldn’t do any harm to discuss it with someone experienced in the area of business funding.
As exciting as it is, starting a new venture can also cause a lot of stress, and most of it is money related. So, remember to plan it before you start it; that will ease your pressures tremendously and get you on your way to attain your goals of financial growth, having more personal and family time, and maybe a few luxuries along the way.
