OVERVIEW
For many young entrepreneurs with start-up businesses, one of the most difficult obstacles they encounter is raising money. Coming up with capital for your business may be relatively easy ,but getting more funds to finance the continued growth of your business will be a lot harder

Raising Money: What You Need
There are many factors to consider when raising money in business, and it’s never an easy task. If you ask any entrepreneur or company founder – especially those who own start-up or small companies – big investors lining up at your company’s doorstep to invest is something they’d all want to happen. However, that’s not how it is in reality. Young entrepreneurs will have to rely on their own skills and knowledge to raise the money they need to support their businesses.

Types of Bank Loan
There are different types of loans offered by banks and the first step for a serious entrepreneur is to know the right one for her business. Depending on your needs and the type of business you want to start, there are basically two main types of small business loans: overdrafts and term loans. Let’s look at what they are and how one is different from the other…
![Page 6: Seminar on loan and fund raising](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54c0a52b4a795934398b4596/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
An overdraft is a type of loan that allows you to withdraw money from your bank account even if you have little or no money in it. So, if your bank approves an overdraft of #50,000 for your business, it means you will have access to this money even if your account balance is zero. Overdrafts are usually short term and last for about six months to one year before they are renewed. As a result, they should only be used as working capital for business activities that are short term in nature such as paying staff salaries or purchasing goods to be supplied to a customer.
OVERDRAFT

ADVANTAGES
One of the benefits of a bank overdraft is its flexibility. You only pay interest on the amount of the overdraft you use; if you don’t use it, no interest is paid (except for some bank charges that may apply). However, its disadvantage is that it is only available to solve short term capital needs. Never use a bank overdraft to purchase equipment or lease a property which has a longer term than the overdraft itself. Using a (six-month) bank overdraft to pay for a two-year office lease is trouble.

Get Advance Funding from Customers.
This is one of the few ways of starting or running a business with zero capital. Customers with an urgent or desperate need for a product or service are often willing to pay the full price (or part of it) in advance. This ‘upfront’ payment usually provides you with the capital you need to produce the product or service, get it delivered to the customer and turn a nice profit.

ENTER FOR A 'BUSINESS PLAN' OR 'ENTREPRENEURSHIP'
COMPETITIONYou would be amazed at the number of business plan competitions that are available every year for African entrepreneurs and small business startups. Many of us don’t even know about them. All kinds of local and international organizations put these competitions together to encourage and boost small and medium scale businesses on our continent. Governments, foundations, the United Nations are just a few of the big names behind some of these contests. E.g YOU WIN

PARTNER WITH WHO HAS THE CASH
Most times, having a great idea isn’t all it takes to start a business. You may have the technical skills or brain power to build an amazing product but you still need a partner who has money that you need to make the product and sell it to the market. When you have a profitable business idea and find a partner who can contribute the capital, both of you bring something to the table and can share ownership of the business. It’s a win-win situation for both of you!

CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES

1.Low interest rate2.No collateral3.Loans are payable for a period of
ten months or more.

Business Angels
Another source of raising money for business is to source funds from high net-worth individuals. These are business angels with substantial idle funds. The only challenge is getting someone they trust to introduce you to them and getting them listen to your business proposal.
![Page 14: Seminar on loan and fund raising](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54c0a52b4a795934398b4596/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ANGELS COME IN TWO VARIETIES: Those you know and those you don't know. They may include professionals such as doctors and lawyers; business associates such as executives, suppliers and customers; and even other entrepreneurs. Unlike venture capitalists and bankers, many angels are not motivated solely by profit. Particularly if your angel is a current or former entrepreneur, he or she may be motivated as much by the enjoyment of helping a young business succeed as by the money he or she stands to gain. Angels are more likely than venture capitalists to be persuaded by an entrepreneur's drive to
succeed, persistence and mental discipline.
