How to Fund Your New Voice Business
There are several ways to provide your newly started VoiceVenture with adequate working capital. The most obvious is using your own personal savings account. However, if you are like the average entrepreneur, you have no extra cash to use and your credit cards are already at their absolute limits. The next best source would be family members or a private investor, but this might mean you will be giving up some control of the business in order to get money. The third would be a loan from a bank or the US Small Business Administration (SBA). Either of these will require some tangible security, such as equity in a home, co-signer, or adequate cash flow from an existing business.
Home based entrepreneurs working on a part-time basis will have it especially rough because they have no proven track record. VoiceStamp understands this and will provide a head start through its own leasing at 0% interest program. See Appendix F for a sample agreement. All you need do is pay for 60% of the software and voice processing hardware as a down payment and we will finance the remaining balance of 40% of your investment for up to 6 months. Almost anyone with a reasonable credit history, a list of reasonable goals, and the personal drive to succeed will be considered.
The next step after securing start-up funding would be to determine where your own strengths lie to insure success. VoiceStamp can help here too.
