Small business financing refers to the means by which an aspiring or current

business• bring money into an existing small

There are many ways to finance a new or existing business, each of which
features its own benefits and limitations.
15 Creative Ways to Finance Your Small Business
Selling your product
Selling your products is an often-overlooked way of raising the money needed for financing your business, but it can be highly effective.
Friends and family
Borrowing from friends and family
presents an interesting
alternative to traditional forms of financing, and can have some unique
advantages.
Having another business
New business owners can also look to double
dip as a means of funding their startups.
Home equity loan
A home equity loan is based on the equity the person seeking a business loan has in his or her home. For those who have equity — the home's value
minus what you owe — in their home, this is a great option for financing a
small business because they generally offer interest rates that are both
flexible and lower than traditional commercial rates.
Selling assets
Credit Cards
Other people looking for additional financing for their small business should look
no further than their wallets: Business credit
cards are among the most readily available ways to
finance a business
Credit-card-balance transfers
Balance transfers are one way to help card holders pay off credit card debt. Credit cards are a big business today, with many companies making a fortune off finance charges.
Angel investors
Those looking to finance their business can always look to an angel — angel investor, that is. Angel investors have been responsible for helping to start up companies generally early stages of growth.
Angel investors can help nascent businesses by serving as advisers.
Winning a contest
Businesses can benefit from a bit of luck.
"This advantage give them the opportunity to increase their production and get into bigger players.
Venture capitalists
While venture capitalists are synonymous with the dot-com bubble of
the late 1990s and early 2000s, the truth is that they
may be a great source of capital if your business falls
into certain categories.
For small businesses that are beyond the startup phase and already have revenues
coming in, a venture-capital investment may be appropriate.
For a fast-growth company with an exit strategy already in place, venture capitalists
present a great way to quickly gain up to tens of millions of dollars that can be used to invest,
network and grow their company quickly.
Real estate
Business owners with a Midas touch in real estate
can also put that skill to good use in financing
business ventures.
Strategic investors
"Strategic investing is more for a large company that identifies
promising technologies. Using strategic investing must also
think about the restrictions the investing companies may place on them, as they can prevent dealing with any competitors and possibly
even cancel the business relationship at any time.
Renting an apartment
Cutting out liabilities is another creative way for new business owners to
fund their startups.
Crowdfunding
Sometimes, there really is wisdom in crowds, especially if you are looking to start a new business.
There are numerous advantages to crowdfunding as a
means of financing.
