How does one raise money to start a business?

[Oneeyedvic]

Firstly, how much are you looking to raise? You need to do a business plan to show that you have a viable proposition. Your local bank may be able to help you with a loan if you have always been a good customer.

There may be grants available to you and there are some governement bodies that may help.

Try looking in your phone book for your local Enterprise agency.

If you are looking to finance a product eg kitchen equipment, then an asset finance broker can help.

If you provide a little more info, can possible help some more
