   Angel Investors

 

Angel Investors are individuals who invest in an idea or a business in exchange for ownership equity in your company. They proactively invest in startups from the seed phase. (Duh! Shark tank guys) and if you are an individual with an innovative idea or have a futuristic plan for your business, this is your call to pitch your idea, in business terms, a pitch deck!

 

Angel investors are usually self-made businessmen or have successful private companies. Having an angel investor on board is equal to having an expert advisor. Take advantage of your resources!

 

2. Crowdfunding

 

Crowdfunding is a popular digital source to acquire funding for your business. Here your source of capital is the general crowd- normal internet users. Yes, you read that right! There are online sites to create a crowdfund, wherein you will explain why your business is a valuable investment and help the users connect with your vision. Successful crowdfunding can raise millions. Remember, you can always set a limit as per your requirements. It's an ideal source of capital for non-profit organizations, startups and businesses looking to reconstruct themselves.

 

3. Venture Capitalists

 

Like Angel investors, Venture capitalists are firms looking for ideas and businesses with a secure growth graph to catch their attention. Unlike Angels, Venture capitalists provide funding with a high rate of return. It's an ideal option if you have big plans for your firm and need massive capital during your growth phase.

 

4. Bootstrapping or self-funding

 

Bootstrapping is nothing but using your own money or assets to fund your business. It can be from your savings or invested capital from family or friends, a preferred option for entrepreneurs who do not want to give up any ownership and stay inside their comfort zone.

 

5. Microloans or bank loans

 

Taking loans is a smart option as they have a low-interest rate. As a founder going through the hustle of trying to get capital or selling your idea can be exhausting. Applying for a loan could be your most helpful and safe tool for raising funds.

 

6. Initial public offering

 

IPO is a process in which your company offers shares of the company to the public. The funds get raised via public investors. IPO can be a profiting process if the plan is to grow and expand your business in the long run.

 

7. Strategic Partners

 

A self-explanatory concept, If your client, supplier or service provider, who profit from your business, are capable of investing in your firm, then it might be an opportunity to get them on board as your strategic partner. If they use your services and are confident in your business, this could be your funding path!

 

8. Government Programme

 

The Indian government has introduced many funding schemes and projects to help founders and entrepreneurs raise funds for their Startups and MSMEs. You can easily access these schemes online and take advantage of such opportunities.

 

 

There are ample opportunities for budding entrepreneurs and businesses to raise capital. The only thing required is to research and invest some time to pave a successful path for your business growth.
