Starting a new business costs money. Even the small start-up that doesn’t require a lot of cost to set up requires that some money be available at the beginning of the business. If for nothing else, you need some security money while you make the leap from working for someone else to setting up your business. So where do you get that money?

Here are a few options for financing your new business:

o Small business loan. The most common method of funding a new business is through small business loans. Make sure to get good interest rates if you go this route.
o Investors. If you can find someone who believes in your business, you can often get a good deal on a loan.
o Equipment lease. Instead of paying outright for new equipment, many people lease their equipment until they get more established.
o Business cash advances. Get the money you need with very little hassle.
o Savings. If you have some money saved up and you want to invest in yourself, here’s your chance.

Of course, there are also more creative methods of funding a new business. But for the average person, these tried-and-true tricks are the way to go.
