I would like to state that it upsets me that many posts go to waste on this website. Still not sure about what I'm talking about.. Well, there are many individuals who posts questions regarding starting a small business or opening a boutique and the simple question regarding funding is always not answered. Many business owners seem to bypass that question by saying we should make sure to have enough money set aside for a rainy day. Besides the obvious..What we really want to know is how you got funding for your business. If you were lucky enough to get an investor, was there a website or independent service that gave you information or the contact details of potential investors interested in funding creative ventures. We know bank loans are hard to get and other than government grants or asking friends and family for money, is there any other form of funding available. I know there are investors out there ready to take on the next project leading to a profit, but where do we find them? Who can we talk to inorder to get in touch with these people, Beside The Dragon's Den...

Janet
