Am tired of the 8-5 jobs 6 days a week. You get salaries that you can hardly save. You spend years building someone else dream with nothing to show for it while yours is busy drinking Pepsi.
One needs to take the bold step now or remain at the mercy of employers

Am facing similar challenge at the moment. Honestly, nobody is willing to help.
I have been battling for this for years and am not happy about .
I established a business after i lost my banking job, 3 years ago. Paid for rents. All I needed was just funds to buy goods for sale but the banks.
The banks are not helping Mather either. You walk up to a bank for a loan. They ask you to run your account for months to enable them access you.
Then I asked, where do I get the money to run an account in the first place.
I wish you well.

lilwetdick:
no rich stranger is going to give you money, if you dont start your business, ask money from families and friends especially your father or mother to start

let people see that you have started and also make some cash and people with money will want to support you

lastly, do not collect loans to start a business, you use loan to expand your business when you are making cash not to start

Kenoxman:
Get a job that allows you flexibility of time. May be a part-time or contract job. Save as much as you can. Use the free time to build urself and the business.

Lately, I have summoned the courage to start up a business. I have several business ideas but had being afraid to make the move because of all that is involved. I am ready to do so now but faced with the challenge of getting funds.
I will need about half a million to kick off and don't want to start with loan.

Do I need to write a proposal and submit to my prospective helpers or do I just meet and explain to them. I hope also to raise the fund from family and friends. How do I go about it please.

Thanks.

OP, give us an idea of the business first, the industry it serves, is it a B2C or B2B business? Do you sell a product or offer a service? Do you have a business plan?

Answering these questions will enable the 'Senoir Class' members here offer you useful advice.

The generic response is:
-Family and Friends
-Crowd Funding
-Personal savings
-Take a loan
-Get a Business Partner
-Get an Investor
-Apply for a grant

Buy a laptop, render some freelance services.
If you don't have any skill, learn gradually. In 6 months, you'll start earning. Then you can channel your money to whatever business you want to do.

Dunno where you got that line from, but I had to respond after laughing out so hard.

I put it to you: You must really like Pepsi!

Well, that was exactly how I felt some two years back when I quit my 9-5 to start freelancing.

Today, I have some money, but I am looking for business ideas...that's because I don't want to quit freelancing.

If you have some digital skills, online freelancing can be a fast way of raising capital.

I don't teach though; there are links on Nairaland that show how to do that.

I wish you the best.

NNE sorry, won't want to dash your hopes or say you should not try but banking on anyone to bankroll you will only frustrate you and kill your hope.

First rule in the street, there are no friends(family inclusive) you are a lone ranger till you make it.

Go and work,save some money and start small.
I started my poultry farm with my personal savings,initially many thougth I have lost it that I dont no what no am doing,but when they see my prospect in the bussines they all live me alone.
Tall to people in your line of bussiness, the will give you ideas.
Mind you don't ever borrow to start up a bussiness.
It will kill the bussines,borrow to expand
And start small

You are not ready to find an investor, continue to create threads. Investors evaluate risks before venturing into the business. No real investor will take Nairaland threads hogwash serious.

Wish i was this lucky after wasting so many years serving my aunty,then left with nothing

Are you really hoping somebody would dash you N500K to start a business?.....with soooo much information you provided? ...and none of your business ideas can jump start from the bottom?... then grow?
