There are many routes you could take to get start up capital which one is best for you will depend on where you are in the world, what is available in your area, how much you need and how much personal risk you want to put in. Some options are;
- government grants
- bank loans
- approaching investors - investment for a share of the company
- stumping up your own money
Whatever route you take you will need a sound business plan that proves your business idea is feasible and sustainable, or else nobody will take a second look.
SECOND ANSWER
The above answer is on point; however, we would like to contribute a couple of clarifications as related to non governmental entities.
Start-up capital is typically sourced from the entrepreneur(s) and what we, in the capital markets, refer to as a 'friends and family round' of financing. As the name implies, with a 'friends and family round,' the entrepreneur contributes his/her own capital (sorry, but sweat equity is not quantifiable and therefore has little if any value to an investor) and speaks with his/her friends and family members about the investment opportunity. If you speak with your friends and family, you should present them with your business plan and, as a minimum, a list of risk factors.
After a friends and family round, typically the next level of financing is the angel round. Angel rounds range from around $100k to $1 million. Your comprehensive business plan is your 'foot in the door' with the angel. Please understand, however, that under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any offer of securities must be registered with the SEC or qualify for an exemption. Sorry, but this Act does not differentiate between privately held companies and companies whose securities are listed and traded on an exchange. There are several exemptions which allow you to raise capital without having to register the offering with the SEC: drop us a note for more information.
Fully compliant (with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) documents must be prepared and available to any interested angel investor. Remember, your business plan is only the marketing vehicle: the business plan is not the legally required funding document.
Beyond the angel round, you'll enter the world of venture capitalists (their funding levels begin around $1 million upwards of $40 or $50 million) followed by the large, institutional investors.
