The alternative to crowd funding is attracting investors to invest based on equity or debt funding. This is increasing because of the potential tax relief on investments and can include loans from friends and family as well as business angels. The approach however is slightly different and suits non for profit business and those with potential high returns and tends to work best with a presentation or business launch. We can help you with a presentation to either friends or family in your own home or organise a launch event to attract investors at an organised fundraising event.
Set up of this support gives no guarantee that funding will be reached, but you must always remember that you can re-sell your concept through the idea-bridge for a commission on sale to re-coup some of your investment and that all business set ups involve some kind of risk. You need to speculate to accumulate.
