I have a brilliant business plan and company structure to put into operation and I am not sure how to get the capital for such a venture since my credit is not great.

I’m looking to open a ****** book- and party supply store, and I was thinking we might have a daycare off to the side so people don’t have to try to find someone to watch their kids while they go buy ****** books, magazines, artsy stuff. I think this is a great idea and will be a huge moneymaker, but I need some startup capital. Where can I get some startup capital??

I know their employees get paid and their generating revenue. But why are they not having positive revenue streams. Is it because of venture capital, reinvestments in the company, or high server costs?

I’m starting a home-based life and health insurance brokerage and I’ll also offer wealth management services. My overhead will be low, but I want to invest some start-up capital in additional training for myself, as well as marketing my business. The main concern I have is that my grandpa invested $20k in my dad’s failed business over 20 years ago, and it’s made holiday gatherings very awkward. I plan on paying back the capital I need to start ($6500), but it may take 3 years or more if the business starts more slowly than I anticipate. 1) How should I go about requesting start-up funding?; and 2) If it’s granted, how should I set up the repayment arrangement? As a loan, or should I give the investor a stake in the company? What are the legal ramifications of the latter since he is not licensed to sell life and health insurance (is it considered sharing commission if he receives income from the business)?
