In general, when people talk of a busniess, soon after talking (optional) financing, fundraising, busniess-angels ... Yet "busniess creation" and "a lot of money "are not synonymous. It is entirely possible to launch without necessarily having a lot of money, at least in some areas. Moreover, more than half of busniess creations (before the auto-entrepreneur) were made with less than 7000 dollars!
These are some avenues to launch without money!
Choose its industry. If some projects (industry, physical trade, products requiring long development ...) are particularly greedy starting capital, it exists against some who do not ask for money upfront. This is the case for many service activities, particularly in services to individuals, busniesses 'intellectuals' ...
Embark once we first customer. It is often forgotten that advice, but as the customer is the primary source of financing a busniess, you can not start with a first client and a signed contract. Into paying a down payment, or choose to use factoring, it is possible to recover the money before you even start to produce or provide a service.
Have a negative working capital is also a good solution, and refers to some previous point. Except that it is structurally the company's busniess will generate cash. This is the case, for example, gift boxes, private home lessons, certain trading activities of group buying sites ...
Sell consulting or training. Even having in mind another activity (which can be developed in a second time), it is possible to start a phase where the commercial offer does not claim capital. This also helps to position itself as an expert in its field and begin busniess development.
Associate themselves. Yes, if you have no money, it is possible to find someone who has and link to the capital!
If poster "interface". Rather than fully develop a solution for its customers, it is possible to bring together several other companies to build the answer to the problem.
Advantage of the infrastructure of other actors. This is especially the case today on the web, where you can open a service or e-commerce site entirely from third party services, without touching a line of code. But it may also be the case in the "real" life, the outsourcing, the use of market forces, ...
Indeed (follow my reasoning), whether to seed capital, is that there is an investment and fixed costs. The fact of any (switch from one investment to leasing, pay the income, ...) eliminates the need for money upfront. The variable becomes the cash ... do not drag to charge!
Use the "bootstrapping". Basically, have less need of money. Limit its cost, do not pay to "the cheaper" especially if it's free, and try to take as long as ... It is becoming more fashionable, even also for boxes that money ...
Launch its box keeping his job. Basically mount in parallel with an assured fixed income. Sure, we'll go slower, but if it is not really possible to do otherwise, it is better than nothing. and then
Win a contest. There are shipments today, a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands. It would be stupid not to enjoy! It is even possible to appeal to the public's generosity!
And there are still probably many more!
Then it is possible to undertake without significant capital, it is sure that this is easier ... it helps in any case to go faster and unlock challenging situations more quickly to expand its team and really give likely his project.
And you think it's possible to succeed without money?
