Advice Please Please Please.  How can I get funded.  I have the business plan, that involves a turnkey business, which carries almost zero risk and requires about $30,000 start up.  However, I have no collateral, am re-building my credit, family and friends can`t help.  How can I begin my road to entreprenuership and financial freedom?  Where do I get funding based on the no collateral etc... facts?

Good Luck,

Dan

I don`t know what your idea is but I have funded 3 businesses by pre-selling the product or service to those that would buy. Thw only down side is you have to give away more service vs. cost. My wife wanted to start a salon so we put together a loyalty program and pre-sold $30,000 in services. For her it was a win-win. She has a base of customers  that are happy because they are getting more bang for the buck and they earn $5.00 for any new referal.
