One of the most paramount factors that enables an entrepreneur to bring his or her business idea into full existence is basically the existence of capital. Capital here refers to the money in which an individual sacrifices to bring his or her business idea into existence in terms of payments for a space or structure to carry out business activities and buying of inventories or stock so as to sell or render to make profit. An individual will also need capital to engage in other marketing activities such as branding, labelling, packaging and advertising of the goods and services. Moreover, situations might occur, and an individual intending to establish business may not have sufficient capital. How would you advise such individual to source for funds?
