Sources of Funding and Capital
It takes money to start a business. You need capital to buy or rent building space, purchase or lease equipment, hire employees, implement your sales and marketing strategy, build your inventory, and make other investments in your business infrastructure.
Business capital can come from several sources, including personal financial investments by business owners/partners, venture capital investments, grants, and small business loans. Most business owners must take out a loan in order to get started.
