Best Answer

There is no typical answer for several reasons. First, "venture capital" is a special term that refers to money invested by professional investment funds, usually in technological or medical types of businesses. Venture capitaltists (or "VCs", as they are known) do not invest in small businesses. They only invest in potentially high-growth companies whose value is likely to increase by at least ten-fold over three to five years. That said, if the question were rephrased as "how much capital might it take to open a dance school...", you would answer it by sitting down and writing a complete business plan for the business, showing all the various costs (rent, salaries, insurance, equipment, advertising, etc.) that must be paid out until the business is generating a profit.

What is the best way to obtain venture capital other than through venture capitalists family friends or bank loans?

Venture capitalists are a common source of venture capital for small and medium sized businesses. They will take the risk of providing capital in return for a realistic share of the profits.Family and/or friends may also be willing to take the risk of providing capital, but there is a risk of bad relationships and of losing friends if the business doesn't succeed. There may also be the problem that they may wish to have a share in managing the business, a desire that may not correspond with your own wishes.A bank loan is not venture capital. A loan must be repaid, with interest, whereas venture capital is cash/funds introduced into the business and represents a proportionate share in the business itself.OTHER SOURCES OF CAPITAL:Stock market flotationForming a business partnership with someone who can provide capitalGovernment or institutional grants
