Ten ways to generate start up capital for your small businessYou may say. I have a great idea but don't have enough money to start a business. Well is ten cheap and easy way to get started.1. Ebay the greatest idea since putting hot dogs on a stick. We all have something lying around that we fell out of love with but just won't let it go. Why not put it out there on ebay and find a new home for your junk and make some start up capital. You can generate several hundred dollars for pennies. Just 2.Craigslist. The poor mans out let. You search under craigslist for gigs and get a job within the same week. Need some extra cash and got extra time post to get a onetime gig.3. DId we tell you about craigslist? You can also post things for sale on craigs list. Got something you want to get rid of sofa, tv baseball cards post it to craigslist. 4. My favorite. You can help save the environment and make money by recycling. So many people just throw away can, and bottles why not make a few bucks just by picking them up. Don't be embarassesed, there is a lot of money just lying around out there all you have to do is pick it up. 5. Private Money. Your mom just got her tax return and has no plans for it. Why not lend it to you for a 10% return. I am sure that is a better return than she will get at any bank and hopefully it will get you off her couch!
