Here are a few ways to get funding:
Self-funding (Bootstrapping)
This means using your own money to run your business. It gives you full control, but also all the risk. Be careful not to spend too much, and think twice before using your retirement savings. It could lead to fees or penalties.

Venture Capital
Venture capitalists are investors who give you money in exchange for part ownership of your business. They might also want a say in how you run things. This is usually for businesses that can grow really big.

Crowdfunding
Crowdfunding is like asking a lot of people to give you a little bit of money. They don't get ownership, but they might get a reward from your business. It's good for creative projects or products.

SBA-Guaranteed Loans
If banks say no to giving you a loan, the Small Business Administration (SBA) can help. They can guarantee part of the loan, so banks are more likely to lend you money. Check out the SBA's website to find lenders who work with them.
