Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding may be right for your business if the business has a large, supportive network willing to contribute to its success.

Grants

Grants are typically a no regret funding option, especially for businesses that are struggling financially, as the money does not need to be paid back.

Investment

Investors provide capital for a business usually in exchange for convertible debt or ownership equity.

Loans

Loans allow a business the flexibility to cover their expenses or make necessary investments, while paying back the money over time, typically with some interest.
