Default Starting up a buisness - funds

As you understand, I have alot of questions concerning starting a buisness. This time I ask about how much funds or money you had when you first started. What would be a good way starting to build a buisness, I mean how should I build up my funds? I do not wish to take a huge loan from the bank, it unsafe. I am a ambitious buisnessman, looking to build a chain.

I´m still young, and have alot of time to work on my buisness. I´ll be happy for all your answers!

Have a read of an article I wrote on this very subject: Sources of Finance - You might also wish to read a few other articles on Wholesale Helper as the site is geared towards helping people get started in business.

HTH..

It isn't hard to write a business plan, there are plenty of pointers on the net. I wrote an article on How to Write a Business Plan that may give some pointers.

For funding I know a few of my members have used my 0% Credit Card method and have got themselves off the ground, I still use this method for some bank account investments to earn some extra income that way also (extra income streams never hurt ).

My point being a paid solution is not necessarily the only solution when you are starting out, I realise the importance of business plans but there are places out there that will help you for free to write plans (like start up organisation etc).

For example, this one has some good reviews on the net http://www.planware.org/ and offerscompletely free versions to try before you buy that actually allow the plan to be formulated.
