There are many would-be entrepreneurs out there with great ideas but no money to invest in their venture.
In the last 14 years I have had so many people say there are grants out there to help finance a business. And I have so many more ask me where that grant-financing money is at. In all that time I have never found a grant that finances the start-up of a business.
There are federal training programs that subsidize part of the wages for a new, qualified employee who is provided on-the-job training and works permanently full time for your company. There are also federal tax incentives to provide the same employment and training conditions for new hires. But I do not know of programs designed to provide investment capital for the start-up and operation of the enterprise.
If you simply do not have sufficient collateral, good credit and/or cash to finance the start-up of your venture, you need to begin looking for a partner or partners who have the finances, desire to participate in this type of start-up and need the skills and ideas you possess to make the business work.
The only alternative that I can think of is to seek refinancing or a home improvement loan (second lien) on your home, if you own it. If you are determined, it is likely the partnership alternative may be the best way to go. Otherwise, you may need an “angel” investor.

I have an Idea to start up a solar panel cleaning and maintainence service. This service I want to offer is a system that integrates with a solar (array) and automatically washes your panels with sprayers at the same time applying a protective solution to them. I have a growing list of about 200 customers with no such system.I would like to find an “angel” investor to help me start this small business. This idea has the potential to blow up and maybe even the chance to partner up with solar system installers. Can you please help me !

I’m presently in the life insurance game for seniors/medicare clients. The majority of them being boomers, I expect that I may interest some of them in backing my all in one facility. It’s a 2 level comedy cafe with the entertainment on the main level and the lower level would be for physical entertainment like dancing and a game room to work the mental and physical body parts. On top side, I envision a bar, stage and a bistro style cafe supporting good organic foods. The stage is for comedy and live music groups. Put all this together and every square foot offers an activity that works for the live-longer boomers and the health conscious of all ages. Parents and their children are sharing more time together because they are moving back home again. So, why shouldn’t they have a place away from home to share a good time besides sitting at a big table and eating monsterous meals with no place to work it off. Laughing, dancing and playing competitve games while listening to smooth musical sounds is good excercise and what the doctor ordered.
My name is M.Nadeem Siddique from India. We are 2 friends starting coconut food processing plant. Since raw materials is easily available in this region & the end product coconut milk powder and coconut milk tin/tetra pack is highly in demand in Middle East, Egypt, China, USA Canada, African Countries, India & Pakistan, we will not have problem marketing the product,hence the cost of marketing the product reduces. We do have experienced professionals for different operations of this business and very good marketing network in GCC, India & China.
We dont want to approach any bank or any financial institution as it charges interest which we are not comfortable with, as this goes against our religion. We need a business loan of approximately USD 800,000 for coconut milk powder plant. We dont have have huge asset for security so if you need any you can have the machinery or the land which cost approx the above said figure as security. If any philantropist wants to give us business loan they are welcome
Since this is extremely lucrative business opportunity if any individual or any venture capitalist or organisation wants to partner us for profit sharing we are very open to this concept and would welcome them as business partner or as distributor or consulting partner.
This will be halal business and any practice/policies which are forbidden in Islam will not practice in our firm.
For details mail me joygroupinc(AT)ymail(DOT)com or call me @ 0091-9945617955
Inshaallah we will be successful working togather
If in case you have group who can fund us please let us know, As this project will employ 150 – 400 unemployed directly in India
Thanks & Regards Allah Hafiz

I want to reopen another nursery at this location.All buildings and most of the equipment are still there.The only supplies would be plants and plant potting items.Also some lawn and garden supplies.

Good Morning.
I have spent the good part of a year researching the viability of a fine wine merchant in the Netherlands specialising in South Africa and French wines. The Dutch market is one of the most emerging wine markets in the Netherlands with a large demand on fine wines from South Africa and France.
I have developed an interactive concept whereby customers can taste wine in the store before they buy, at the own pace. This is done by installing advanced Enomatic wine dispensing units whereby the customer uses a tasting card that works on the same basis as a bank card. When the customer purchases a sample of wine, the value is deducted from the overall balance on the card.
This will be the very first store in the Netherlands to offer customers this opportunity. I have up to this point aquired all machinery, software and systems in order to make this possible. However, I require capital injection to the value of 70 000 Euros to make it possible. The expansion potential is enormous with the possiblity of entering the German, Danish, Belgian and Swedish markets.
Anyone interested in participating in this venture is free to contact me.
I am looking for money to start a DIY business helping the lower income families improve their home interiors on very tight budgets. I have done many homes. One I just finished only cost 200.00 for my customer. This was a trashed double wide trailer. I frequent our towns thrift stores, garage sales, ads in the paper, ebay and other online services to obtain the customers items needed. For instance, Rustic Design= tree branch curtain rods, ribbon sewn to the curtain fabric, usually done for 2.00 a window. I would like to build a playhouse on my patio, 10×10 with access to the alley. I would use this as my office, and to do my designs and store the items I have created. I need about 6,000 dollars to start. Business permit, computer, have wiring and insulation put in etc. My goal is to help low income families turn a plain house into their home. I only charge 10.00 hour so they can afford me. Anyone interested in helping me find the money or the playhouse please email me. Thanks, Annie
