Escaping the rat race and becoming your own boss is a dream most people have at some point or another. But it takes guts and determination to hunker down and bring that dream to fruition.

Bank loans

Sure, you can go down the traditional bank loan route, for this, you will need to show proof that your new company can generate an income and allow you to pay back the funds you have borrowed at an agreed repayment rate. However, this option isn't available or even suitable for everyone looking to start up a new company.

Self-fund

Self-funding is a risky but acceptable way of starting your new career path. While it is true that some companies can start and operate on a shoestring budget, others need serious investment to allow them to get up and running. If you are looking to self-fund your new company, it may be worth getting our personal finances in order and looking to save up a nest egg to fall back on.

High-interest savings accounts, cashing in any investments or even looking at trading on the stock market to increase your portfolio and grow our savings pot. Companies such as MT4​ can help you get started, but don't forget, all investments come with the risk that you could lose all your money. However, with the right advice, trading on the stock market could be a great way to boost our funds and allow you to self-fund your new startup. Alternatively, when not looking at virtual currency such as Bitcoin. The digital currency has been gaining traction for a long time now, and there are many opportunities for you to make money via the right investment.

Angel investment

An angel investor is someone who is looking for the next big thing to invest in. They know what they are looking for and are willing to help out new companies who spark their interest. Did you know angel investors funded many of today's big tech companies?

By taking money from an angel investor, you will almost always be required to give them equity in your company, and this will vary from company to company and the angel investor.

Competitions

Keep your eye out for contests run by different organizations that will offer monetary prizes or even business financing to the winner. The award solely depends on the specific organization running the contest. Still, chances are, for the opportunity to win, you will have to meet particular criteria, potentially pay an entry fee and have to wow a panel of judges.

Crowdfunding

​
There are many different crowdfunding sites online that offer you different options for how you can raise money for your small company. This option is perfect for those supplying a product. Crowdfunding will allow you to raise funds to manufacture the product with the help of strangers who donate to your crowd fundraiser.
