Start your business with zero investment
The sentence, “Start your
business with zero investment” is fascinating to most of us. You must have
heard this many times either by the word of mouth or the advertisement or from
some other sources which often tempts you to quit your current job and start
your own business without having your personal savings for the time being. Finance
is considered as a blood for business so that is the logistical hurdle which
stops a person. However, the good news is it is not impossible to start and
grow your business with less or no finance. It depends on what business you
want to start and what are your needs.
Why does a business need money?
There is no startup fee for
starting a business. However, if you want to start it in a big way or if you are
particular about having a setup, then money comes into the picture. Hence, it
is important to estimate how much funds and resources are needed before
searching for the alternative methods to arrange for funds. You need to
consider some of the factors and take an appropriate action. They are
Licenses and Permits – You need paperwork and registry depending on
the state, area, and the region you would want to operate.
Supplies – Estimate how much raw material is needed if at all you need them and assess whether you need
computers or other devices.
Equipment – Analyze whether you need a specialized machinery or
software.
Office Space – This is a huge and major expense in which the
commitments like the Internet, utilities,
costs, janitorial services, and whether to outsource the tasks to the
back-office such as payroll and invoicing cannot be ignored.
Associations, subscriptions, and memberships – Depends on what
publications and affiliations you subscribe on a monthly basis.
Operating expense – Administrative and marketing expenses are very
important to be ignored or forgotten.
Legal Fees – Needs to be considered if you are hiring a lawyer
throughout your business development process.
Employees, freelancers, and contractors – If it is not possible for
you to do all the work alone, you would need the staff on your payroll.
Having said that, we would also
like to say these things are not with an intention to discourage or demotivate
you. There are two ways of starting a business with less money. One is reducing
your costs and the other way is increase your capital from other sources.
Following are the three ways
Minimize your needs – You can either change your business type or
go in for fewer needs as mentioned above. If you are starting a company as a
freelancer or consultant as an individual, you can save on the employee cost.
Also, you can also work from home without compromising with your housework.
Bootstrap – This is the other option. You need not invest too much
at initially and can start your business on a small note and expand it later
once your business starts doing well.
Outsource – In this option, you can get funded from the external
sources. Like family and friends, investors, venture capitalist, crowd funding,
government loans and grants, and bank loans.
