Default Where to find the right investor?

At my 27 years old, it has been a huge challenge opening up my own Bed and Breakfast with no capital.

It has been a huge step starting from nothing. From building up a concept, to getting our name around all over the world.

We have gotten far in a such a short period of time, but still need that little backup to pulish things the right way than in not a very long run would be turned into sales and profit.

Does anyone by any chance know where I could look for a small investor that would like to grow with our concept?

Thank you for taking the time to read this ad.

Have you tried your business bank?

If not the two other main options would be:

- Angel Investingment
- Venture Capital

In both instances, though, if you did have something others saw as a valid and potentially strong business model, they would expect you to turn some degree of ownership over in return for funding.

Hi there,

I commend you on how well you have done is such a short period of time.

Being in the field we are, we see so many start up businesses fail within the first 3-9 months because they have not budgeted sufficiently and overspent on things and generally run out of money without enough revenue coming in.

Most venture capitalists and venture capital companies, we have dealt with in the past for clients, usually want an ownership share AND want the money paying back.

So, if you want to give away a large chunk of your business and pay back all of their investment then that is a good option.

If you are making a profit then try and ride it out, ask the bank for some temporary help...

After all, you'd rather next years' profits were ALL yours right?
