Another benefit of launching your business now is that thousands of qualified and trustworthy employees have lost their jobs or are being relinquished by their firms due to the business crisis in 2020.

Entrepreneurs have always hesitated to take a bank loan as it involves a massive amount of paperwork as well as it may take some weeks or months to induce approval or sometimes even get rejected. Besides the option of a bank loan and self-funding, there are various other considerable options to get funded by investors:

Venture Capital(VC)

However, their thriving practical ideas and growth hacking marketing strategies will assist sales to boost up ultimately minimizing the possibility of failure.         

Angel Investors

Angel investors are rich individuals who spot businesses of their interest probably associated with their expertise niche. Angel investors substantially invest in potential growing businesses in return either to become partners or get a seat in a higher position on the board. 

These investors provide valuable input to the business through their many years of experience, proving faithful to their name “Angel Investors”!  

CrowdFunding

A newbie “Crowdfunding” is gaining traction in the past couple of years. Crowdfunding is a strange form of getting funded because the people raising fundings are non-investors by profession.

These people don’t expect any ownership share in business instead they can become priority customers or expects gift in the form of products/services. Another way of thanking them is to invite them in launch events, business fairs, or online webinars. 

Since in crowdfunding there is no high debt to be paid or didn’t have to lose any possession, the level of competition on crowdfunding platforms/websites is intense.
