Microbusinesses can often be started with a very small sum of money. Many microbusinesses owners start their businesses with an initial investment of a few hundred bucks. A continuous piece of advice we tell people: start small and gradually grow!
If you still insist on raising money for your idea, ask your close friends and family and check out crowd funding websites. There are new sites like these continuously being launched, so be attentive. Here are a few that I have found:
- Kickstarter.com – (only for artistic projects)
- Rockethub.com
- Indiegogo.com
- Crowdrise.com
- Have a great idea for an app? Test market it and get funding through Appbackr.com
