Starting business free of debt will minimize your risk and give you a much better chance of succeeding. There are a number of funding opportunities you can use to do this. Here are some small business funding possibilities:

• Minimize start up costs.
• Outsourcing saves time and money.
• Save on expenses with a staggered or part-time start up.
• Approach your current employer – or a potential large-scale customer – about contracting for them.
• There is another way you can deal with your start up costs: put simply, start a savings plan now.
• There are also creative business funding options available through your retirement plan.
