The capital issue: You've said it as it is - mere excuse. That's because one does not need a lot of money to start a business. The slogan is "Start small and grow big." Besides, if you've got a very viable idea that requires a huge capital, there are people out there who have the money and will be willing to finance you, but you must be able to prove your business model.

Banks very rarely invest in, or loan money to, start-up businesses. But they do fund small businesses with operating history.
