Since people all around the world are out of work, many individuals are beginning to think about starting their own small business.
They want to do something they enjoy instead of doing a job they only tolerate.

Besides the bank, there are other places people could obtain funding for their petite company.

There is also company help through many of the colleges and university extension divisions that work closely with people who want to open a new, smaller company, typically under 35 employees.
Another place to check for funding ideas would be in a small business blog.
Bloggers that have gone through what someone is trying to go through could be a lot of help.
They have done the research and know where loans for companies of a certain size are to be found.
If someone has already done the 'leg work', why would someone want to do it again? An individual who wants to begin their own company of fewer than ten or so employees may want to look at several different business blog posts to compare ideas about funding.
