Every business needs a little capital to get started. But some ways of raising it are better than others!

Here’s the good news: Finding that initial seed money is less of an obstacle than you might think. For smart, lean businesses, all you need is enough to start engaging your audience, validate your idea, and create an MVP (Minimum Viable Product). 

In other words, you can probably save (or make) the money you need all on your own.

That’s not to say no one should consider loans or investments. Depending on the business, either might be appropriate. But if you start your business by taking the right actions in the right order, you can keep costs down and be in profit almost from Day One.
