The biggest complaint of the project planners is not having the necessary funds to start their business. However, the real problem is that it is not enough to have the most brilliant idea to find project financing or to be able to create the most formidable company; it has more to do with the way the project looks on paper.
The key to solving the challenges that some entrepreneurs face, is working on two special skills. We are talking about an ability to negotiate and market your idea in a powerful and compelling way. There are indeed people that are looking for feasible ideas to invest in. The key is to show investors how special and original your idea really is.
In order to do this, you need to quantify:
Think concretely. Think about what you will need in order to implement your business idea. What equipment will you require to produce it? What raw materials? Where will your business be? Will you keep big or small inventories? Do you need to patent your idea? That is just a sample of some important things entrepreneurs may forget. Project funding can also come from people close to you, like your family and friends. Remember, that whenever you are asking for funding, you need to explain the investor line by line what you will use the money for.
Get project funding from commercial providers:
You can use your own means and properties to serve as collateral in order to get funding from a financial institution. There are many loan options that may be available for you. You can also opt for venture capital firms. There is an array of project funding opportunities and you will need to look for the one that suits you best.
Seeking project funding through strong documentation:
For someone to be interested in your project, they have to have something concrete about it. Prepare a business plan that has impact and include your own professional and academic credentials. You can make a stronger case if you have sound financial records to show.
Your business plan must have the answers to the questions that most investors will have. What kind of business it is? What customers is it targeted to? Who are the competitors? How will you sell the product? What is your strategy to enter the market? Etc.
Do not forget to add all the results of your financial projections (financial plan, balance sheets, income estimates, the budget for the first three years and the cash budget for the first year, for example) as well as your implementation plans.
