How To Start A Small Business With Little Or No
Money
2

• Starting and running your own business can be
  incredibly rewarding, but its not
  easyespecially if youre doing it with little or
  no money. Without the backing of investors or
  funding from large institutions, starting and
  running your own business can seem all but
  impossible. However, there are many ways to start
  and run a successful small business with very
  little money. If you have an idea that you think
  can make money, here are some tips on how to
  start a small business without any outside
  funding.

Start Small

• Starting on your own? Dont expect to open
  your doors and make millions. Starting any
  business, especially one without much capital, is
  hard work. You wont become an overnight success
  it can take months before you start seeing
  regular revenuebut by starting small and making
  smart decisions from day one, you can ensure that
  your business has a steady growth trajectory. It
  may not be glamorous, but it will be sustainable.
  Even if you end up generating only 100 per month
  in profit for a few years, thats better than
  nothing at all! And every new customer is more
  reason to believe in your business concept. This
  mindset is what separates successful
  entrepreneurs from others as soon as they hit a
  rough patch (which happens sooner than most
  people would like), they figure out ways to
  smooth things over rather than throw in the
  towel. They keep growing their business because
  they never stop believing in it themselves.

Use Your Resources

Stay Focused

• Although it might seem obvious, before you
  can create something new, you have to have
  something (anything) in place. In terms of
  business funding, that means taking a look at
  your finances and identifying what resources are
  available to you. If youre saving money for your
  venture, dont withdraw everythingyou might want
  to keep some cash on hand for day-to-day living
  expenses. And if you plan on using personal
  credit cards as part of funding your business
  idea, only borrow whats reasonable for what you
  need. A balance transfer card can help lower
  interest payments and make financing more
  manageable. Taking a look at your financial
  situation first can provide insight into how much
  initial capital is really necessary.

One of the biggest challenges facing
businesses today is staying focused. If youre
trying to get a new business off of the ground,
youll find that its almost impossible to keep
your attention on just one thing. With so many
new ideas and responsibilities hitting you at
once, staying focused on your goal may seem
nearly impossible at times.

Generate Revenue Quickly

• But if you can push through those times when
  getting things done feels nearly impossible, stay
  focused on what you want and how youre going to
  make it happen, then making that goal a reality
  will be much easier than expected. You wont be
  able to go from 0-100 in a single step instead,
  break down each of your goals into simple,
  manageable tasks and take care of each piece
  individually until they all come together as one
  big success story.
• You might have an idea for a business venture
  that seems like it would have wide appeal but
  requires some particular skill set before you can
  even begin to think about really putting any work
  into it.

When starting, you might not have enough cash
on hand to pay for everything upfront. If thats
your situation, dont worry. Depending on your
business model, there are several ways you can
generate revenue quickly while slowly spending
down your initial investment. One example is
operating as a consultant and charging per hour
of work rather than relying on fixed project
fees.
6
Find Partnerships

• For example, if you needed 3,000 worth of
  tools to get started and plan to use them daily
  in your new business, charge by the hour until
  theyre paid off. In these cases, funds arent
  about paying for equipment upfront but about
  supporting your businessand helping bring it
  into existencein other ways.

7
Get Invested in Others' Success

• Starting a business isnt easy and it
  definitely wont happen overnight. With so many
  ups and downs, entrepreneurs sometimes get
  discouraged. In moments like these, its good to
  remember why you started your business in the
  first place. Take a moment to reflect on what got
  you into entrepreneurship in the first place,
  then do what you can (both financially and
  personally) to keep learning and growing. Most
  importantly, trust that things will fall into
  place as long as you stay dedicatedand patient!
  This is your dream after all dont let anyone
  take that away from you. Happy growing!

Find someone else in your niche, who is just
starting, and help them get started. Even if you
dont have any funds of your own, you may be able
to help them in other ways. For example, are they
having trouble finding an affordable place for an
office? Do they need business legal services? Are
they looking for a mentor? Are they running their
campaign on social media platforms like Facebook
and Twitter and could use some advice about how
to expand it? Offer your services in exchange for
theirs or find another mutually beneficial
arrangement.

Delight Customers

• Its tempting to try and save costs by
  cutting back on things like customer service, but
  youll end up paying for it in other ways. For
  example, if customers arent delighted with your
  product or service, they wont be willing to pay
  full price. Also, happy customers are likely to
  share their positive experiencesmeaning your
  business could pick up word-of-mouth referrals
  that lead directly to sales. So dont skimp on
  customer satisfactionits one of many easy ways
  small businesses can attract more customers.
