One of the most common questions I get asked about business is the money side of things - or to be more specific, how to raise money to start a business.

See, funding a startup used to be much more constrained, one of the only real options was to go through a bank to do it. But recent times have shown us that banks aren't always the most reliable source of funding, and they're often not there when small businesses need them.

I want to help people get around that and find the funding they need for business, so in this video, I talk about 5 ways you can fund your startup WITHOUT using a bank.

Hi Simon! This is the first video I have seen from your channel and it was very informative. Thank you for creating and uploading!

My dream is to start my own brewery one day and I am in the first steps of trying to formulate a plan. I have never started a business before so I am trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible and this was helpful. Thank you!

Simon, thought this was a great piece of content. Very engaging and extremely useful. Do you do mentorships at all of is this something you would consider in the future? I am 3 weeks away from a crowdfunding launch and wanted to gather any tips or tricks you might have? Lastly, I have joined a business with my closest friends and can feel the tension between us. I believe that we need to be more business owners and less employees, bogged down with repetitive tasks that I think we should outsource. Would you be interested in zoom call or just something to help me grasp where I should be focusing my attention. All the best and keep this up.

Sir you are a Legend, best advise ever! I stick from the beginning when you said that ironically best businesses started with no money at all, all you need is ingenuity and innovation! Love it! and then equity partnership I think is a very good idea too. Thank you! From Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Some family and friends don’t help themselves for food or basic needs in some places
Nice video but it’s hard to raise any money for everyone else if you don’t have a road trip clear and a P&L that’s helpful

Just found this video and found it very interesting, I’m self employed and have an idea to grow the business I’ve tried looking for a business partner with no luck but we’ve just sold our house and are mortgage free at the moment so will be using some of the cash from the house sale to move the business forward.

I really like this last options. I've been open to finding a good fit for partnership role. Where does someone go to seek equity or partnerships as partial payment for their next job or career move?

I don't have many of these, but what I do have is an eye for details, with that said iv always seemed to be able to see outside the box so iv had to start small and self inflation is my best option
