- Investors: Investors exchange money for a percentage of company ownership. It’s more formal than handshake borrowing and requires some paperwork. But you might not want to compromise your vision with another person.
- Loans: Most banks can give small businesses loans to get started. They can have long application processes and often require collateral. You’ll be making installments of payments for the length of the loan.
- Grants: Depending on your business, you might qualify for federal or state-level grants. They are even privately funded grants out there in the world. On the downside, they can take a long time to come in. And the paperwork can be very time-consuming and confusing.

Small Business Factoring
