Essentially you'd be selling part of the business to investors, who would then take a share of the future returns of the business (i.e. they would own shares in the company). You would probably need to register a company first, ensure the paperwork is done properly and make sure the legal and financial sides were both properly prepared. I suggest you speak to your bank manager about all of this. Alternatively you could Google "Venture Capital" plus the area you live in and see if you can find advice from the venture capitalists themselves.<br><b>References : </b><br> Without debt, and assuming you don’t have the ready cash to invest, the only way to raise the money would be some form of venture capital.

Determine how much you have on hand and the difference is the amount you need to raise. If you don't want to incur debt (loans) and you don't have it all on hand, then you are most likely going to be looking for an investor.<br><b>References : </b><br> Funds for financing a business usually come from one of four places:
